Encore Semi, Inc.

Encore Semi has a long history of offering advanced SOC (ASIC, FPGA, Mixed Signal, RF) design services. In 2016, to meet a customer demand, we created the Functional Safety Solutions Group (FSSG) around a team of Functional Safety Experts. This group works collaboratively with our SOC design engineers to provide customers with full-service functional safety support relative to the safety life-cycle product development of Automotive, Medical, Aerospace and Defense Markets.
