fabless iC design house: mastering RF and Mixed signal ASICs
Bruco IC is the largest Dutch independent fabless IC design center with almost 40 years of expertise in designing and supplying innovative and high-quality RF and analog/mixed-signal ASICs to customers globally. We provide design services and turn-key solutions from early system specification to qualified silicon and take care of the supply chain during product lifetime. Our designs can be found in many products in markets such as telecom/satcom, industrial, automotive and consumer.
Our team of highly skilled people consists of over thirty-five IC design and application engineers with Bachelor, Master and PhD degrees.
Together with our partners, we can provide a complete European design and supply chain, resulting in strategic autonomy and economic security of your critical components.
Bruco IC has offices in Borne (HQ) and Nijmegen the Netherlands and in Berlin, Germany.
The pillars of our turnkey asic partnership
Bruco IC is not a generic design house. We are your dedicated partner for custom RF, analog and mixed-signal IC solutions. As one of Dutch leading ASIC design partners, Bruco IC delivers precision-engineered and application-specific IC solutions that meet the most demanding technical specifications. Whether it's for a high-performance communication system, a low-power positioning tag or an ultra-fast gate driver, our IC solutions are engineered for performance and qualified for the most demanding environments. We manage the entire process: from specification to the delivery of tested chips.
35+ years of Turnkey ASIC experience
By teaming up with Bruco IC, it means not only engaging with system and IC architects, but also specialists with deep expertise in RF, analog and mixed-signal IC design who are able to translate your project into custom silicon.
FABLESS DESIGN: THE RIGHT FOUNDRY FOR YOUR ASIC
As an independent 'fabless' design house, we choose the best foundry and process technology for your application. This guarantees optimal manufacturability, costs, and IP control, without 'vendor lock-in'.
IN-HOUSE RF LAB FOR RAPID VALIDATION
Your IC is validated in our own advanced RF measurement lab. This ensures that what we design actually performs under real conditions.
END-TO-END SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
We manage the entire logistics chain. From wafer procurement and assembly (OSAT) to production testing, forecasting, and lifecycle support. This guarantees a reliable, predictable delivery.
Custom IC Design From System Specs to Qualified Silicon
We design RF, analog and mixed-signal ICs for applications where off-the-shelf components don't meet your specs and requirements. From system architecture through tape-out to production ramp. We at Bruco IC handle the full design cycle and supply chain.
Turnkey ASic development and supply
We architect your ASIC, design and verify the circuits, and manage tape-out through your chosen foundry.
Custom RF IC Design
We develop custom RF ICs from sub 6 GHz to mmWave; typically in technologies such as CMOS, BiCMOS and SiGe.
Custom Mixed-signal IC
High performance ASICs, including ADC, DAC, and signal processing for advanced mixed-signal integrated circuit projects.
Engineering Support
Short on RF expertise or design bandwidth? Our engineers work with your team on specific blocks or full chip development. We bring the specialized skills, you keep control of your project.
Testing and Measurements
Test development and silicon characterization. We design test programs, validate performance across corners, and qualify your IC for production release.
Supply chain Management
Get to know our end-to-end supply chain management. We coordinate foundry relations, handle logistics, and support your product through end-of-life.
Turnkey asics for your application domain
Secure communications
We design ASICs for fast and reliable communication systems where uptime isn't negotiable. We design the transceivers, frequency synthesizers, and signal processing that keep critical connections alive.
GLOBAL POSITIONING & AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS
Building a system that needs interference free and centimeter-level positioning accuracy? We design front-end ASICs for autonomous systems, precision agriculture, and drone navigation. Whether you're tracking position in urban canyons or fusing IMU data with satellite signals, we build the custom ICs that turn RF signals into reliable navigation data.
Next-Gen Computing
Working on photonics or quantum systems that need analog interfaces to the classical world? As these computing architectures emerge, we're building the mixed-signal infrastructure they need to function. With engineering power in custom IC we accelerate the solutions that enable the complex challenges of AI, quantum, and photonics.
Smart Systems
Need high performance drivers and controllers? We bring intelligence to life in everyday devices, with ultra-efficient ASICs that enable seamless interaction between humans, technology, and the environment.
Our network
Deep Expertise in RF, analog & mixed-signal Design
Bruco IC is a 'fabless' design house. This is a deliberate, strategic choice. Unlike an IDM (Integrated Device Manufacturer), we are not tied to our own factory. This gives you as a customer ultimate freedom. We select the foundry and the process node that is technically and commercially optimal for your specific application. Do you want the full overview of our network and IP knowhow? We recommend contacting us or downloading our corporate brochure for a brief overview.
Processes & Nodes
As an independent design house, you get the freedom to choose the most suitable technology for each application.
Bruco IC selects the optimal semiconductor process across a wide range of nodes. Our methodology evaluates frequency requirements, power constraints, and cost targets to identify the ideal fabrication technology for your application.

IP Selection & knowhow
We can integrate a broad range of IP into your custom solution. But rather than forcing IP blocks into your design, we prioritize the optimal solution for your specific requirements. Whether that's proven third-party IP, custom-developed blocks, or hybrid approaches. This flexible approach ensures your ASIC achieves maximum performance and differentiation while minimizing development risks.
