Services

Our product expertise covers Image Processing for infrared and visible light, Telecommunication technologies like SONET, SPI-3, DS3 and ATM and Financial Market Access for exchanges like NYSE, NASDAQ, BATS and Direct Edge. We license ASIC/FPGA intellectual property in these areas.

Design

System partitioning, functional level and system level in Silicon HDL coding.

Synthesis

Targeting an existing design for a specific standard cell library/FPGA. Optimization on both gate count as well as timing.

Verification

Functional/Timing verification and/or validation of designs.

About Us

Tenesix Inc. provides Intellectual Property Cores for ASICs and FPGAs and Verification Consulting Services to semi-conductor and system vendors providing Networking, Communications and Image Processing solutions. Our Image Processing cores are used by camera manufacturers in the visible light and infrared regions.

Tenesix Inc. adds expertise in market access for the financial markets using FPGAs to reduce latency. Familiarity with various protocols used by exchanges like NYSE, NASDAQ, BATS and Direct Edge.

Our FPGA based Intellectual Property allows semiconductor vendors to provide a solution to a problem not solved by an existing ASIC. In smaller markets or when the cost of re-spinning an ASIC is not justified, an FPGA along with an existing ASIC can be a cost-effective solution to a customer’s problem. The FPGA is partitioned so that the Intellectual Property can be easily transferred to an ASIC.

ASICS/FPGA Design and Verification Consulting Services.

We have designed and developed integrated circuits for some of the most significant broadband communication markets. Our design expertise covers areas like SONET, Ethernet, DS3 and ATM networking technologies and ASIC designs using HDL (VHDL/Verilog) modeling, simulation, verification and synthesis. We provide value to our customers by being a part of their team or by independently taking responsibility for a complete FPGA or ASIC or parts within. Our Image Processing Intellectual Property has been used in endoscopes and low-light cameras for the defense industry.

We provide our customers with an opportunity to partner with some of the best trained and most highly focused people in the business. People with just the right mix of experience, business sense and solid communication skills. People who have worked together for many years, and who know how to leverage the strengths of our entire team to create real value for you.

Our Philosophy

Tenesix Inc. was incorporated in 1995 and specializes in the following areas;

  • VLSI System Architecture
  • Specification, Partitioning and Modeling in silicon
  • Synthesizable VHDL/Verilog models
  • System and ASIC simulation
  • Synthesis and Optimization
  • Image Processing Algorithms

We provide not only a complete ASIC/FPGA design solution but also all the support needed to make sure you successfully integrate and use the designs.

Our philosophy has been to partner with our clients and operate more as a team than a vendor. We strive to create a good reference from every customer that we work with. Our foremost goal is to make our client successful which is why our business relationships revolve around the central question, “How can we make sure that your ASIC works on first silicon”? In addition we help in other areas of your chip to ensure a speedy tape out.
