Digital Design Corporation is committed to providing best-in-class design services for the digital
industry. We will bid whole projects, whole chips, or just be members of a
project team. Our team specializes in communications (datacom, telecom, wireless,
cellular, etc.), DSP, audio, video, etc., especially as they apply to digital
implementations. We have expert knowledge in implementing these and other
technologies in ASICs, FPGAs, EPLDs. driver software, microcode, and embedded
processors, etc., and in ASIC/FPGA/board design flows, EDA tools (especially,
but not limited to; Xilinx, Altera, Cadence, Synopsys, Mentor Graphics,
ViewLogic, Veribest, Synplicity, and Model Technologies), and in dealing with
ASIC foundries and back end processes. With over 13 years experience in digital
chip and board design and over 6 years of consulting, we are committed to the
creation of high quality digital circuits, products, and software.
