VeriSilicon: Car-level certification of its own semiconductor IP is being planned
Recently, VeriSilicon said in an institutional survey that in recent years, the domestic substitution trend in the semiconductor field has gradually emerged, and domestic companies have relatively strong demand for semiconductor IP and chips, so the company’s domestic sales revenue has increased rapidly. It is expected that The proportion of domestic income will increase.
VeriSilicon said that the company serves customers in a wide range of downstream fields such as the Internet of Things, consumer electronics, data processing, computers and peripherals, automotive electronics and industry. In the first three quarters of 2022, the Internet of Things and consumer electronics account for a relatively high proportion of the company's revenue. However, the demand for semiconductors in incremental markets such as smart cars and smart wearable applications will grow rapidly. In the future, automotive electronics and Internet of Things and other application fields will Has a broad market and development prospects.
In the field of smart wearables, VeriSilicon has an extremely low-power high-performance chip design platform for AR/VR and other fields, as well as nano and pico series low-power IP combinations for low-power applications, which can create devices that adapt to different power modes. Products, actively deploy bluetooth headsets, smart watches/bracelets and AR/VR; in the field of automotive electronics, the company has a layout from smart cockpits to autonomous driving technologies, and the company is planning to carry out the car specification level of its own semiconductor IP The company's chip design process has also obtained the ISO 26262 automotive functional safety management system certification. VeriSilicon can provide global customers with a one-stop solution for automotive chips that meet functional safety requirements from chip and IP design implementation, software development, etc. Customized service.
VeriSilicon revealed that Chiplet is one of the important development trends in the semiconductor industry. In recent years, VeriSilicon has been committed to the promotion of Chiplet technology and industry. Through "IP chip, IP as a Chiplet" and "chip platform, Chiplet as a Platform" to realize the industrialization of Chiplets. VeriSilicon, as the number one semiconductor IP supplier in mainland China and the top seven in the world, has a wealth of processor IP cores and leading chip design capabilities. In addition, we have established partnerships with the world's mainstream packaging and testing manufacturers and chip manufacturers. Long-term cooperative relationship, so it is very suitable for launching chiplet business.
The UCIe (Universal Chiplet Interconnect Express) interconnection standard plays an important role in promoting the development of Chiplets. VeriSilicon has become one of the first companies in mainland China to join the UCIe Alliance. With the gradual unification of chiplet interfaces in the industry and the gradual maturity of packaging technology, we will continue to promote the development of chiplet technology, promote the iterative research and development of chiplet solutions for high-end application processor platforms, and continue to promote through customer cooperation projects and industrial investment. The industrialization process of chiplets in the fields of tablet computers, autonomous driving, and data centers.
It is understood that the company has a number of customer projects based on the RISC-V core architecture. At present, we have developed a TWS Bluetooth connection platform project based on the RISC-V design of the open source architecture.
In addition, combined with its own technical reserves, the company launched a RISC-V open hardware platform based on single-core, dual-core and quad-core RV64 CPU clusters to support the development and promotion of open source software. This platform integrates the Neural Network Processor NPU, Graphics Processor GPU and Image Signal Processor ISP that VeriSilicon has achieved great success in the market, and provides related Linux software SDK, which can help enterprises speed up the design and verification of chip software and hardware work to bring products to market quickly.
