About Incyte

Incyte was incorporated in December of 1996 with a focus on providing IC physical design and CAD engineering services. Each member of the Incyte team brings 20 plus years of IC design experience to the company. This vast experience has enabled the Incyte team to successfully implement countless chip layouts including SoC, ASIC, custom high speed digital, mixed signal, analog, and RF based designs. A strong background in both IC implementation and CAD engineering enables our team to deliver solid design methodologies and flow automation as well as layout execution.
