General description of the company

A small business specialising in R&D projects mainly in RF and sensor related areas.  We can supply small quantities of chips through EUROPRACTICE or other foundries.  A full service is offered, including theoretical design, using mathematical tools, (MathCad), circuit design (PSPICE, TSPICE) layout (Tanner L-Edit), foundry procurement, and chip evaluation.  Comprehensive reporting at each stage is a major feature, so that designs can be carried forward to production with confidence.  Saul Research is approved by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance to BS EN ISO 9001:1994 for Provision of Integrated Circuit Design.
