Overview

SICAN GmbH, headquartered in Hannover, Germany, is a microelectronics design company specializing in communications, multimedia and networking applications. Its technical staff and infrastructure form an organization with the flexibility and innovation to meet the rapidly changing design needs of its customers.

As a full-service design house, SICAN functions like other American design houses, offering IC development services. The company has expertise in classical ASIC development using gate array and standard cell architectures. It has over 200 designs which have been implemented in various companies and acts as an authorized design center for several world-class ASIC vendors.

SICAN has developed advanced core expertise in topics such as MPEG video and audio encoding and decoding, high-speed networking, broadband media access, and mixed-signal design. SICAN's intellectual property is aggregated in cores called DesignObjects^TM, which are licensed to companies creating systems-on-silicon. It also has a staff of over 300 employees, making it one of the largest independent design houses which licenses its intellectual property. This impressive design force allows SICAN to offer the highest quality, customer specific designs as well as reduce their time-to-market.
