Testimonials

Samplify Inc

"The Alvand team is simply the best analog design team we have ever worked with. The quality of the IP was excellent and the integration process went perfectly. Furthermore, the IP met or exceeded the target specifications and enabled us to achieve first pass silicon success. We needed to make no modifications to put the product into production. We believe Alvand technical capability in delivering state-of-the-art Data Converters IP and its support is superior and, in our experience, unique."

Tom Sparkman, CEO

Infotech Enterprises America Inc

"The time-to-market advantage not only came from Alvand experience, but also from the Infotech and Alvand teams working together as one. Partnership means a lot to us and Alvand shares the same core values with us. The thorough IP integration support made first silicon success possible in mixed signal chip."

Yanan Mou, Director, Analog IP Design Support Division

Xceive Inc

"Alvand's track record of first-pass success and their extensive characterization data on silicon-proven IP convinced us that they would be a low risk supplier. Our chip coming out and working perfectly on first silicon confirmed that we had made a good choice. We are very pleased with our experience with Alvand and would not hesitate to use them again."

Brian D. Mathews, VP of Marketing and Applications

iTE Corporation

"We selected Alvand Technologies because of their deep expertise and proven ability in providing best-in-class Data Converters IP as well as mixed signal and RF blocks. Ultra low power and minimum die area IP is essential for mobile TV applications and with Alvand solution we did bring the whole concept on a whole new level".

Allen Lu, General Manager of Mobile TV Business Unit

Aquantia Inc

"We required silicon-proven Analog-IP to integrate into our SOC in an advanced technology node. Their IP was compact and flexible, and the integration went very smoothly. In the competitive market that we are in, certainty in achieving time-to-market and quality is very important for us. Alvand was a perfect fit for us"

Ramin Shirani, VP of Engineering

KLA Tencor

"The quality of the IP and ASIC was excellent and the integration process went very smoothly. Furthermore, the product met all the specification with good margin and enabled us to achieve first pass silicon success. We believe Alvand technical capability in delivering state-of-the-art Data Converters and its integration in complex systems with signal integrity challenges is unique."

Ali Ehsani, Ph.D., Engineering Manager, Rapid Division

Stanford University

"I have been aware of Alvand Technologies for the past four years and remain impressed with their low-power, high-performance data converter capabilities. In fact, Alvand's ADCs rank as some of the best commercial parts when compared to all of the ADC's introduced world-wide, a list and ranking I publish every year as part of my role in the ISSCC technical program committee. Alvand also has an enviable track record of first time working success, with each of their past forty tapeouts performing perfectly with no spins required.
Alvand has been able to achieve this success in deep submicron technologies, as low as 40nm and pioneering 28nm, and is one of the few companies I know executing high-speed precision ADC's in these geometries."
