Turnkey ASIC Design & Supply

IC’Alps was founded in 2018 in Grenoble by seasoned experts in the semiconductors industry and with the active support of DOLIAM, a French private holding company. The company works with customers from the healthcare, industrial, IoT/AI, automotive, aeronautics and digital security markets (or applications).

From the outset, dedicated to the design ASIC/SoC solutions on state-of-the-art technologies, the team strenghtened its expertise in nanopower, sensor/MEMS analog and mixed-signal interfaces, ultrasound and power management.

With the opening of a design center in Toulouse, the company  reached 85+ members in 2023 and is expected to continue growing.
