Custom Design Service - ISDI’s Unique Approach
James Brodrick (CTO) and Thalis Anaxagoras (Founder and CEO) discuss the custom design service at ISDI
Custom sensor IC is a core skill at ISDI (Image Sensor Design and Innovation) and an area where the company has successfully completed numerous international projects. The high quality of the custom design service stems from the expertise of the engineers and the significant emphasis placed on customer service within the organization. ISDI provides unique, tailor-made sensors designed for specific applications.
In this article, Thalis Anaxagoras, Founder and CEO, and James Brodrick, CTO, describe the custom design service at ISDI.
Can you explain what differentiates ISDI’s Custom Design Service from standard CMOS sensor providers?
ISDI provides customers with unique, tailor-made sensors designed for specific applications. These are designed to meet challenging requirements which are not met by existing image sensor devices on the market.
ISDI can provide a rapid custom design service with re-use of proven IPs and fast-track wafer processing and device packaging.
How does ISDI Custom Design Service address the unique requirements of imaging system designers?
ISDI addresses the unique requirements of imaging system designers by offering support at a system level and addressing all necessary components at a system level. In the foreground stand:
Custom Sensor Design – ISDI works closely with clients to develop unique imaging sensors that meet their exact specifications, optimising performance for their specific use cases.
Enhanced Performance – By designing sensors with specialised features such as higher resolution, sensitivity, or optimised spectral response.
Application-Specific Solutions – With our extensive experience in scientific, security, and industrial applications, ISDI contributes to system-level discussions at the early stages of a project. This allows us to help customers develop an optimised design matched to our silicon.
Innovative Technology – Leveraging the latest advancements in imaging technology, ISDI delivers cutting-edge solutions that push the boundaries of imaging capabilities.
What steps does ISDI take to collaborate with clients and ensure their specific requirements?
ISDI follows a structured and collaborative approach to ensure that our clients' specific requirements are met effectively:
Understanding the Problem – We work closely with customers to thoroughly understand the challenges they are trying to solve and the specific needs of their application. We also make sure that our solution will meet the business needs for the customer, both in product manufacturing and BOM cost
In-Depth Analysis & Measurement – Using various platforms and analytical tools, we assess key parameters to determine the optimum specifications for their setup.
Collaborative System Specification – The technical requirements are drafted and reviewed in a series of meetings.
Custom Sensor Design & Prototyping – ISDI has a long-standing world-class team of image sensor IC designers. Our approach is to use, where possible, building-blocks which have been proven on other designs. All designs are thoroughly simulated before release to wafer fabrication.
Testing & Optimisation – A separate team of test and applications engineers applies a rigorous test programme, with frequent updates to the customer.
Ongoing Support & Iteration – ISDI maintains an open collaboration with clients after initial product handover, to assist with design-in of the product, system integration, and further iterations of the design to meet evolving requirements.
