About SiGuys

SiGuys leverages decades of Signal Integrity (SI) experience to provide consulting services to electronic hardware design teams. SiGuys handles all types of SI challenges with particular focus on today’s highest speed serial links, and deploys advanced simulation capabilities to ensure designs work right the first time. SiGuys’ customers receive real data, clear communication, and documented solutions for their most-challenging SI problems.

SiGuys specializes in helping customers succeed in the design, implementation, and manufacture of high-speed serial links. We achieve robust signal integrity by using state-of-the-art pre-hardware simulation to guide layout, firmware, and production with real data and no nonsense.  SiGuys’ customers have tens of thousands of serial links in production spanning products from disk drives to cellular data routers. Consulting since the beginning of the serial revolution, SiGuys consistently and effectively helps customers migrate to next-generation data rates again and again.  We’re known for clear communication and our ability to tailor services to match a client’s budget and schedule, and judge our success by a design team’s opinion of us when we’re done.
