Challenge
Our client, a multinational medical equipment company, needed to develop a custom SoC for an existing MRI machine. They aimed to replace a board with discrete components with an application-specific single-chip solution to reduce costs, extend product life, and add new functions to the existing device.
The client lacked ASIC design experience in-house and needed a partner who could ensure uninterrupted silicon device delivery for the next decade and handle IP selection and integration.
Solution
Building on our 20-year trusted partnership, Quest Global steered this extensive full-spectrum SoC project to provide key services at each stage:
Took complete ownership of component from specification to silicon parts delivery
Established partnerships with IP vendors, FABs, and OSATs to maximize client value
Secured silicon supply chain for the next ten years
Results – at a glance
Created and transferred the complete flow and methodology while delivering the custom-designed device ahead of schedule
Freed the client's core engineers to focus on value-added tasks such as new product development
Enabled client entry into price-sensitive developing markets
Maintained product support over an extended period, ensuring continuity and optimized service delivery
