Merger of two domestic EDA companies
Recently, the domestic semiconductor EDA intelligent software and system company "Xinhuazhang Technology" announced that it has acquired "Shunyao Electronics", a leading high-performance simulation software company, and integrated core technologies. The acquisition amount was not disclosed.
At the same time, Xinhuazhang Technology announced that Fu Yong, the founder of Sunyao Electronics, officially joined Xinhuazhang as the company's Chief Technology Officer (CTO).
Xinhuazhang Technology said that it acquired the core technology of Sunyao Electronics and integrated the ultra-large-scale software simulation technology into the Xinhuazhangzhi V verification platform to enhance its rich system-level verification product portfolio and consolidate the Xinhuazhang agile verification solution. As the CTO of Xinhuazhang, Fu Yong will lead the strong R&D team to develop more digital verification EDA products with competitive advantages, and achieve rapid mass production and implementation, providing customers with more flexible and efficient verification solutions.
According to public information, Xinhuazhang was established in March 2020. With the technical pillars of intelligent debugging, intelligent compilation, intelligent verification cockpit, and intelligent cloud native, it has built the base of Xinhuazhang platform and provided seven product series that fully cover the verification needs of digital chips. Including: hardware simulation system, FPGA prototype verification system, intelligent scenario verification, formal verification, logic simulation, system debugging and verification cloud. At the same time, Xinhuazhang is committed to the research and development of EDA2.0 intelligent electronic design platform.
Up to now, Xinhuazhang has completed 7 rounds of financing, bringing together a number of well-known leading institutions, including Hillhouse, Sequoia Broadband Fund, Gaorong Capital, Yunfeng Fund, ZhenFund, etc. The latest round was completed in January this year. strategic financing, and also introduced the national manufacturing transformation and upgrading fund.
In terms of intellectual property rights, up to now, Xinhuazhang has a total of 26 authorized patents, including 17 invention patents, 8 utility patents and 1 appearance patent.
Shunyao Electronics was established in April 2021. The company's mainstream products focus on the field of digital verification and achieve point-like breakthroughs in advanced technology. In June 2022, the company officially launched the first two products, ShunSim, a high-speed high-speed simulator. It is understood that the speed of ShunSim is 10-100 times higher than that of traditional simulators. It has built-in Verilator, a robust and safe simulation kernel verified by a large number of commercial cases, and supports a variety of mainstream design and verification languages.
Founder Fu Yong graduated from Tsinghua University. He has worked in top international semiconductor companies such as Quickturn, Axis, Verisity, Cadence, and Synopsys. He has participated in and witnessed the milestone development of simulation acceleration technologies such as Emulation. He has more than 25 years of core practical experience in the field of EDA. .
