Most high-voltage ICs are judged by peak performance. SimpleChips takes a different approach: designing silicon around long-term reliability, system behavior, and real-world operating conditions. From electric vehicles to medical devices, this systems-first philosophy focuses on making complex electronics safer, simpler, and more dependable over decades of use.

Discover how SimpleChips Technology, Inc. is transforming high-voltage IC design through a systems-first philosophy led by founder Alain Comeau. Rather than optimizing isolated components, the company focuses on real-world reliability, manufacturability, and long-term performance. This approach rethinks traditional process limits and builds integrated solutions that simplify complex power electronics.
From electric vehicles to medical devices and aerospace systems, SimpleChips designs silicon meant to operate safely for decades. Comeauβs background in yield engineering and physics drives a practical mindset that connects device behavior to complete system needs. The result is innovative products, such as precision high-voltage monitors, that reduce design risk and improve efficiency.

The final round of the βFPGA & MCU Design Challenge 2025β is about to kick off in Da Nang!
On December 16, 2025, the Da Nang Center for IC Design & AI Research & Training (DSAC) will host the final round of this yearβs FPGA & MCU Design Challenge.
Weβre proud to support DSAC and our industry partners in empowering the next generation of semiconductor innovators. This competition has created a hands-on, real-world environment for students to apply FPGA and MCU design skills and strengthen their engineering capabilities.
Competition Highlights so far:
β¨ 27 teams from universities across Da Nang have joined since the launch on May 19.
β¨ 19 finalist teams advanced after a rigorous preliminary round based on technical performance.
β¨ A short-term FPGA & MCU design training program supported 83 participants, building strong practical and project-ready skills.
β¨ Industry experts and academic judges provided deep technical guidance throughout the event.
β¨ A total prize package of 40 million VND will be awarded to outstanding projects.
