Ridgetop Group, Inc. provides electronic prognostics and health management solutions, semiconductor IP blocks, and built-in self-test solutions for critical applications. The company offers Sentinel Network, a system level software solution that collects sensor data and provides a database structure, as well as enables the processing of prognostic information. It develops silicon structures that predict impending failure of ICs before the host circuit. It also provides a design-for-manufacturing family of in-situ test structures for critical measurements of IC parameters, which includes PDKChek, an independent die-level monitoring system that measures the variation in parameters resulting from the randomness inherent in die manufacturing and processing; a prognostic cell that measures age-related damage caused by time dependent dielectric breakdown effects; and a negative bias temperature instability electronic prognostic unit. In addition, the company offers analog-to-digital converters, digital-to-analog converters, band gap reference, and op amp cores for use in IBM, TSMC, and AMI processes; and RadChek, a 3D software tool for the design and shielding optimization of electronic boards and modules exposed to harsh radiation environments. It serves its clients in aerospace, automotive, military, medical device, environmental, industrial, consumer electronics, telecommunications, and renewable energy sectors in North America, Europe, and Asia.
