PATENTS

When you’re ready to commit your idea to silicon, rest assured, there are lots of ‘good’ ASIC Design services companies to choose from. Each of them eager and willing to give you a reason why they’re your best fit.

At JVD, we could think of nearly 100 reasons… the patents that proudly bear the names of members of our design team and attest to their Inventiveness, Ingenuity, Creativity, Capability, Expertise, Genius, Mastery and Proficiency in the art of Analog Mixed-signal design. Art is the operative word. The JVD team are the da Vincis, the Rembrandts and the van Goghs of Analog design. The others; they paint by numbers.
