Innoviz Testimonials
Innoviz-technologies, a global leader in Automotive Lidar technology, is happy to share the following testimonial for our partner Avnet ASIC. As our design partner Avnet ASIC team has made significant contribution to our recent projects. Avnet's involvement was instrumental in the successful tape-out of a critical test chip and the subsequent completion of a full-mask automotive ASIC project.
In the context of our Analog IPs test-chip, Avnet led this project, while Innoviz provided the high level architecture requirements. Avnet’s team led the full-chip frontend implementation and then the backend convergence. The 2 successful tape-outs during 2018 allowed us to successfully evaluate the critical analog IPs before the full-mask project tape-out. Avnet’s team was attentive to to the project needs and challenges, and was also very dominant in the test-chip architecture and testing plan. Avnet also played a significant role in characterizing the main issues found in the analog IPs, and supporting Innoviz and our IP provider in fixing those issues for the 2nd test-chip tapeout.
In the context of our flagship automotive ASIC, Avnet team were responsible for full-chip SDC, full-chip reset-clock methodology and implementation, pad-frame design, digital IP implementation, IP level and full chip verification, PPA estimations (using backend flows) and RTL signoff. Avnet’s team technical expertise around backend implementation made them our focal point to all backend related challenges and decisions along the way, helping us to converge this complicated project.
Avnet ASIC is our default partner for all ASIC related projects till this day.
The success of both those projects and the effectiveness of our teams working together was thanks to Avnet’s team seamless integration with our in-house team, promoting productive collaboration and open and effective communication, filling all the missing gaps with their expertise, making sure that project is successful.
In summary, we highly recommend Avnet as a professional and skilled ASIC design partner. We anticipate continued collaboration and are confident in Avnet's ability to contribute to our future ASIC roadmap.
