About

Engineers who shipped the silicon first.

A custom-silicon partner for the edge AI era. Founded by veterans of TSMC, UMC, GUC, Faraday, ITRI, SpringSoft and Cadence. Two decades of tape-outs, now building the tool we always wanted.

01 · Vision

From innovation to renovation.

— 01

Edge AI moves out of the demo.

Into robots, cameras, sensors, scanners.

— 02

Standard SoCs leave value on the table.

Application insight closes the gap.

— 03

The old industries get rebuilt.

Manufacturing, logistics, healthcare, agriculture.

— 04

Custom silicon is the lever.

We make it buildable.

02 · Principles

How we build. No exceptions.

— 01

Automatic, not assisted.

The tool finishes the job.

— 02

Architecture-level.

Above RTL. Always.

— 03

Reuse by default.

Methodology compounds.

— 04

Transactions over waveforms.

Insight, not noise.

03 · Approach

Platform-led. Project-driven.

— 01

Platform-led.

Three tools — XACT-Forge, VerifAi, DeVign — carry the load across every engagement.

— 02

Project-driven.

Our engineers ship the chip with you. Advisory to full ASIC program.

— 03

Application-aware.

Architecture explored against your workload. Not a generic template.

05 · Values

What we hold. In every review.

— 01

Technical honesty.

Clear tradeoffs. Not inflated claims.

— 02

Execution speed.

Discipline at every milestone. Tape-out is the deadline.

— 03

Customer differentiation.

Your application stays yours. We ship the silicon that carries it.

— 04

System-level thinking.

Sensors, data path, compute, software. One coherent design.
