Quality is fundamental to the design of intricate semiconductor products.

SmartDV’s CTO, Kavitha Tala, highlighted the tangential benefits of having taken the company through the certification process: “As our engineering team worked with TVE CERT, we turned a critical eye to our internal processes and made improvements to standardize procedures and increase efficiency. The impact of ISO 9001 does not stop now that SmartDV has received a certificate—it will be evident for years to come in the superior quality of our IP.”
