About us

SandChip is an association of engineers, and companies in strategic partnerships, well versed in full custom Integrated Circuit design. We are experienced in a wide variety of Analog, Digital, and Mixed Signal techniques. Our special focus is on Analog Design. We will take you from concept to silicon. Mitch Beck (Founder CEO) Mitch has over 40 years experience in circuit design and has a solid track record in both design and project management. He started his career at IBM in 1979 doing device level design on state of the art Bipolar SRAM's. Here he also worked on testing Auto Place and Route (APR) tools and developing new test methodologies. In 1995 he joined Intel, Arizona and worked on high speed serial I/O including PCI-Express, USB 2.0, CSI, and LVDS. He also managed design groups on various projects and developed circuits from concept to silicon. He has worked in every phase of IC design from process selection and chip definition to final test and Product engineering He holds two patents, on USB 2.0 Steve Chief Circuit Design Lead Steve is an Analog Electronics Integrated Circuit Designer with 40+ years of experience, and a wide range of skills and expertise. Spending much of his career as a contractor and independent business owner, he has seen and tackled many challenges in the field. His experience includes designing and developing ultra low power circuits (a specialty), precision voltage references, voltage and current regulators (including LDOs), amplifiers, crystal oscillators (including a groundbreaking 32KHz), PLLs, frequency synthesizers, and SERDES, in a wide range of integrated circuit technologies. He also has expertise in data converters (DAC and ADC), as well as temperature sensors. From writing and marketing his own Circuit simulator to designing unique solutions for today’s challenges and newest process nodes, Steve is a true Renaissance Man of the Integrated design world!

    TSMC has officially started production of Apple’s iPhone chips at its Arizona fab, marking a significant milestone for U.S. semiconductor manufacturing. The first chip produced in this facility is the A16 SoC, used in the iPhone 14 Pro. While current production is small and considered a test phase, sources expect a ramp-up as Phase 1 of Fab 21 progresses, with full-scale production targeted for the first half of 2025. The chips are produced using TSMC’s N4P process, an enhanced 5nm technology. Despite yields slightly lagging behind TSMC's Taiwan operations, parity is expected soon. This effort is bolstered by a $6.6 billion subsidy from the U.S. government, part of the CHIPS for America Fund, and aims to generate 6,000 manufacturing jobs and 20,000 construction jobs. This project highlights the growing importance of U.S.-based chip production, especially as global semiconductor demand continues to rise.
