The Advancement Path of ChipHuazhang's Domestic EDA Technology
In 2026, the global semiconductor industry is undergoing an unprecedented "logic explosion," with the AI infrastructure market reaching a trillion dollars in size. Industry competition is shifting from a simple infighting over chip-level "computing power density" to a struggle for certainty in the value chain.
In the era of trillions of transistors, chip design complexity has increased exponentially, while the efficiency of traditional design verification tools has only maintained linear growth. The huge gap between the two is becoming a "black hole" swallowing up chip manufacturers' R&D costs and time to market. Against this backdrop, in the past two years, Chinese EDA company Xinhuazhang has completed its transformation from a traditional chip tool vendor to a system-level productivity engine in the AI era through technological innovation and organizational restructuring.
In response to industry pain points, Xinhuazhang proposed the "EDA 2.0" concept , which breaks away from the traditional positioning of EDA as an isolated link in the chip industry. It reconstructs the system-level design and verification process from the bottom up, promotes the industry's evolution from AI-Driven to Agentic AI , and enables tools to have the ability of intelligent agents with autonomous reasoning and automatic debugging. It realizes the collaborative verification of hardware logic and software before tape-out, which meets the demand of the trillion-dollar AI infrastructure market for the efficiency of whole system-level convergence .
In terms of core technology breakthroughs, Xinhuazhang has deeply applied large language models to the field of formal verification. The intelligent SVA generation tool, jointly developed with leading clients such as ZTE Microelectronics , can automate three layers of verification: syntax, functionality, and quality, thus reconstructing the digital verification production relationship. In an AI inference chip project for a leading internet client, this tool compressed the original three-month verification cycle to three weeks , transforming formal verification from a capability exclusive to senior experts into a standard feature of general development, thereby achieving widespread access to industrial productivity.
On the hardware side, Xinhuazhang also delivered impressive results. In 2025, its hardware emulator shipments exceeded 100 units, achieving large-scale mass production deployment. Furthermore, in the field of intelligent computing chips, it completed a large-scale cascaded deployment of over 40 hardware emulators, setting a record for the scale of domestic hardware simulation systems. This solved the latency and synchronization problems of ultra-large-scale data interaction, verified the stability and deployment capability of domestic equipment in large-scale computing chip verification, and laid a solid verification foundation for AI infrastructure construction .
