VeriSilicon Releases Most Advanced FD-SOI Design IP Platform on GLOBALFOUNDRIES 22FDX for Edge AI and IoT Applications

Shanghai, China – Oct 24, 2019 - VeriSilicon, a Silicon Platform as a Service (SiPaaS^®) company, today announced its comprehensive FD-SOI Design IP Platform with more than 30 IPs based on GLOBALFOUNDRIES^® (GF^®) 22FDX^® platform. The IP Platform includes low-power, low-leakage and high-density memory compiler IPs and various key mixed signal IPs enabling VeriSilicon to provide a one-stop silicon design service to customers designing for AIoT (Artificial Intelligence + Internet of Things) applications on GF's 22FDX with mature IPs to shorten custom design cycles and reduce their R&D costs.

VeriSilicon Design IPs on GF's 22FDX deliver significant improvements in power, area, and cost compared to current offerings. VeriSilicon has long history on memory compiler IP and mixed signal IP development starting from 180nm process node. The company’s rich experience in IP development and mass production on multiple processes makes VeriSilicon Design IPs more robust and competitive.

FD-SOI Body-Bias technology allows user to adjust device threshold even after silicon manufactured, it can enable dynamic tuning between High-Performance and Low-Power, enhance the design flexibility without extra cost.

“Comprehensive and competitive design IP solutions are critical to integrated circuit (IC) design companies, especially the companies targeting fast growing AIoT applications which require cost effective, ultra-low power as well as fast time to market. Through the good collaboration with GF, VeriSilicon’s 22nm FD-SOI Design IP Platform will enable customers to design differentiated and competitive ICs by leveraging GF’s advanced 22FDX technology, and better address the requirements of AIoT applications,” said Tony Qian, Vice President, GM of Design IP Division of VeriSilicon.

“VeriSilicon silicon proven FD-SOI IPs on GF's 22FDX platform is well positioned to support the explosive growth of low-power IoT and connected devices," said Mark Ireland, vice president of Ecosystem Partnerships at GF. "Together, we broaden our IP and services to enable our mutual clients to create single chip cost- and power-optimized solutions."
