With IMAGIN+ you are getting a Tier-1 OEM-quality product. We provide ASIC design services, firmware customization, characterization, validation and ongoing reliability testing. We can also manage the manufacturing and supply chain for you. Our scale allows us to generate economy of scale and get aggressive pricing from suppliers. This means the effort and cost of our offerings will vary case by case depending on what you need. There is no set MOQ/NRE cost and small changes come with small fees. We will explain the level of effort required and the cost associated with your requirements. On top of that, we can even offer recommendations on how to reduce costs. Often, dropping a few secondary requirements can make a big difference.

We welcome you to consult with us to see how Phison IMAGIN+ can benefit you.

Phison’s primary focus is on NAND Flash solutions, signal conditioning ICs and power management ICs. Phison also partners with customers to license and support our storage IP including SerDes, mixed signal, memory interface, ECC and security.

Send us your requirements and Phison will either license our broad portfolio of IP or customize our mass production storage controllers, signal conditioning ICs and power management ICs.

It depends on the application and complexity of the custom IC. We have completed PCIe 4.0 SSD ASICs within 9 months. For more complicated designs, it may take up to 18 months. Phison continuously validates the ASIC design using a field programmable gate array (FPGA) environment together with full production firmware before tape-out. In most cases we go to market with the first silicon. After reviewing your company’s needs we’ll be able to provide a specific timeline.

• Industry-leading technology, competitive products and proven execution
