"Elveego circuits is a one stop semiconductor turnkey designs and solutions provider specializing in design of analog, mixed signal,RF and digital ASICs"

ELVEEGO operates as an end-to-end turnkey design service and solutions provider. The company works right from system architecture & conceptual level design, feasibility analysis, foundry and technology selection, to Design and GDS delivery. ELVEEGO also participates in Silicon testing and remains a part of the product development process until the customer is ready for mass production of the chip. ELVEEGO handholds the client right from product designs to development. The company also supports by taking care of few product development processes as per the customer’s needs. With the cost of developing a new semiconductor fab anticipated to surpass USD 5.0 billion, more and more IDMs are adopting a fablite outsourcing model. Also, the shrinkage of technology nodes contributes to this change in adoption. The Fabless model continues to grow, especially in countries like China and India. In China, the Fabless model is growing exponentially, and in India, it has already started and is expected to grow. ELVEEGO is ready to take a head on challenge for this market demand through their turnkey design service partnerships with Fablite IDMs as well as Fabless companies.

ELVEEGO has one of the most inclusive engagement models for its customers. ELVEEGO engages with its customers under various models which are fine-tuned as per the customer’s needs. To excel in the turnkey design model, the ELVEEGO team needs precision circuits across foundries and process technology nodes, with shorter TATs that will enable them to achieve faster ‘time to market’ requirements for their customer products. Intensive preparation and design work happens in the background at ELVEEGO to create many re-usable generic building blocks that can be used in their customer’s projects directly or with some fine tuning. The teams at ELVEEGO are constantly working on designing next generation reusable building blocks targeting new and upcoming application domains. This helps in achieving faster TAT for their projects. ELVEEGO has also been successful in creating
and adding capabilities along the years in new and niche applications and technologies while delivering the ever-demanding design requirements of their customer products.

Successful Ventures that Testify their Expertise
So far, ELVEEGO has successfully delivered designs to various Semiconductor majors. ELVEEGO's customer base range from World leading Consumer Electronics giants to Venture funded Fabless product companies to leading IDMs. ELVEEGO designs have been used by most of the Semiconductor majors in Japan either directly or indirectly. The customer base has been primarily in Japan and Asia Pacific region until recently. ELVEEGO has started reaching out with their design offerings to customers in a plethora of geographies including the US and Europe. A World Leading Consumer Electronics giant has been a long term reputed member of ELVEEGO's clientele. ELVEEGO is also a partner to the Design teams of a 120 years old Conglomerate. Moreover, ELVEEGO has also delivered designs for projects of Space Agencies of some countries. Recently, ELVEEGO entered into a strong partnership with a Venture Funded Fabless company and will be an integral part of the team designing their product-lines.



Most of ELVEEGO’s engagements with customers are long term contracts under which ELVEEGO contributes in designing many variants or next generation versions of the customer’s products. A major chunk of ELVEEGO’s designs for a customer were not just a one-off project, but were executed considering scalability, product-line and long-term roadmap for next versions and enhancements etc. ELVEEGO’s performance and relationship with customers is testified by the repeating business from customers with whom ELVEEGO has been working since its inception in 2010.



Now,ELVEEGO intends to continue creating value and offer turnkey services to customers in various application domains. Further discussions are carried out with foundries, foundry partners and other Semiconductor ecosystem partners to expand the scope of ELVEEGO’s offerings to Chip delivery.As part of their domain expansion, ELVEEGO has deployed teams in Digital Design, Verification and Implementation as well. With such a rich portfolio and approach, ELVEEGO shows promises to emerge as one of the premiere names in the Indian semiconductor industry.
