What EASii IC does

EASii IC is a French fabless semiconductor company headquartered in Grenoble, founded in 2002 as a pivot from an earlier IT services firm. The company operates an ASIC Design House offering turnkey custom integrated circuit development across digital, analog, mixed-signal, and RF domains, supported by approximately 90 ASIC engineers across two design centers working with technology nodes from 180nm to 7nm, including CMOS, FDSOI, FinFET, and BiCMOS processes. Complementing the services business, EASii IC has built a portfolio of wholly-owned product brands: X-REL (high-reliability ICs operating from -60°C to +230°C), ADiiS (aeronautical CoaXPress cameras and recorders), ALIEN/GeoLiFi (AC-LED drivers), EZMod3D (3D multi-domain physical simulation software), ADICSYS (eFPGA IP), SCPTime (secure time distribution), and SATCOM/Oxford-2 (DVB-S2X satellite modem ASIC). The company also operates ASER radiation testing services, an Electronic Design Center with approximately 40 engineers providing hardware/software development, and a manufacturing subsidiary, EASii PROD, created in 2018.

The company generates revenue through a mix of professional services (turnkey ASIC design, consulting, radiation testing, test bench development), hardware sales (X-REL ICs, Oxford-2 ASIC, ADiiS cameras, ALIEN LED drivers), IP licensing (CoaXPress, eFPGA), and recurring subscriptions (EZMod3D, SCPTime). Customers span aerospace, defense, space, automotive, telecommunications, medical, video, and industrial sectors across 18+ countries, reached through direct sales and a global distributor network (Americas, EMEA, APAC). EASii IC holds ISO 9001:2015, EN 9100:2018, and CNES SME Label certifications, has French CIR research accreditation since 2006, and invests over 20% of annual turnover in R&D. The company is privately held under AZIC Holding, which performed a leveraged buyout in 2008, with founder Yannick THEPAUT serving as Director of Publication.
