IC’Alps is a fabless semiconductor company developing state-of-the-art fully custom Integrated Circuits (IC) combined with a complete management of the supply chain.
We invest our know-how and recognized expertise for highly demanding markets, in cost-effective solutions for our clients’ challenging needs.
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. It reached 50+ members in 2022 and is expected to continue growing.
