When Standard Components Hold Back Your Innovation
In today's competitive electronics market, the demand for optimized performance, reduced power consumption, and minimized form factors is relentless. Everybody knows: standard ICs often do not suffice. As a premier ASIC design house, we specialize in transforming your unique challenges into powerful, reliable Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Whether you're an R&D manager at a large corporation seeking specific expertise to enhance your team or a startup founder looking for end-to-end ASIC development, we've got you covered.
Mastering Front-end RF
Our broad experience in designing IP blocks used in front-end RFICs e.g. LNAs, PLLs, mixers, from stand-alone LNAs and switches to fully integrated radio receivers, will help you meet your challenges.
Eliminate vendor lock-in
You maintain flexibility and control over your manufacturing and supply chain, a non-negotiable factor for long-term product stability.
Optimal node selection
We assess all leading pure-play foundries and select the process node (down to 22nm) matching your performance, power, and cost targets.
Custom supply chain
We believe in flexibility and control over your supply chain. We see this as essential for a long-term partnership and your product's stability.

Explore Bruco IC's comprehensive design services, from system specification to qualified silicon, ensuring seamless product lifecycle management.
The Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE) costs vary significantly based on complexity (e.g., analog vs. digital content) and the chosen process node. A feasibility study is the only way to get a precise estimate, but general estimates for high-end RF ASIC design start in the mid-six figures, covering design, verification, masks, and initial wafers.
A typical full-cycle project takes approximately 24 to 36 months. This includes 3-4 months for feasibility / architecture, 3-5 months for fabrication (tape-out to first silicon samples), and 3-6 months for validation, characterization, and final qualification (RFS milestone).
We offer flexible engagement models. While we excel at full turnkey ASIC solutions, our engineers frequently integrate with R&D teams, providing specialized expertise in e.g. RF design (e.g. PLLs) ,or gate-driver implementation, verification and/or layout support.
As a fabless house, we use the best technology for your spec. For high-performance RFICs, we often utilize SiGe or RF-SOI nodes (down to 22nm) for optimal balance of speed and power, working with leading foundries like Global Foundries, TSMC, Tower Semiconductor, and X-fab.
All custom design intellectual property developed specifically for your project is owned by you. Next to that we have our own secure IT infrastructure where the design database and EDA licenses reside.
Post-production support is included as part of the supply chain management, covering long-term logistics, buffer stock agreements, yield monitoring, and obsolescence management. We ensure your product remains reliably available throughout its full commercial lifecycle.
