On December 19, the "2023 Integrated Circuit Industry EDA IP Exchange Conference" was grandly opened in Shanghai. In order to promote the innovation and integrated development of the integrated circuit industry, this conference was hosted by the Shanghai Integrated Circuit Industry Association to further promote the leading integrated circuit enterprises and high-end talent teams, and at the same time cultivate industrial advantages, promote cooperation and exchanges, enhance the core competitiveness of the industry, strengthen innovation and focus on key points.
At this high-end exchange meeting, Mr. Lin Junxiong, chairman and CEO of Silchip, the helmsman of the first digital EDA company in China, as the first guest speaker, delivered a speech entitled "New Applications, New Technologies, New Markets: Facing the Challenges of Large-scale Digital Circuit Design", leading the participants to go deep into the future trend of the industry.
The picture shows the founder, chairman and CEO of SilchipLin Junxiong delivered a speechAt this exchange meeting, Mr. Lin Junxiong had an in-depth discussion on the current challenges of new applications, new technologies and new markets facing the integrated circuit industry. In particular, he highlighted the rapid development of RISC-V architecture, chiplet technology, artificial intelligence (AI), and automotive electronics, which are significantly increasing the complexity of chip designs and placing higher demands on EDA tools.
Mr. Lim emphasized that in order to capture the opportunities and challenges brought about by new applications, new technologies and new markets, the industry needs to build a mutually beneficial ecosystem and continuously innovate to meet the specific needs of customers. He believes that by integrating these needs into the continuous iteration of products, it can not only enhance the competitiveness of semiconductor design, but also promote the continuous development and prosperity of the entire industry.
Specifically, in order to stay ahead of the competitive semiconductor market, it is critical to integrate customer needs into the product iteration process. This means that EDAs need to keep an eye on market dynamics and customer feedback to translate these inputs into product improvements and innovations.
In this way, it is ensured that EDA tools not only keep up with current industry trends, but also anticipate future technology needs, thus providing customers with a sustainable competitive advantage. In addition, this customer-oriented product development strategy also helps to deepen the cooperative relationship between the best merchants and customers, and jointly promote the progress and prosperity of the entire industry.
In the face of new and ever-changing opportunities and challenges in the semiconductor field, Silchip is creating greater value for customers by predictively deploying new technologies and providing innovative solutions.
There will be different design and verification requirements at various stages of chip development, and Silchip proposes to use a heterogeneous verification platform to address the current new trends and new markets. It can meet the design verification requirements of IP development, SOC integration, software and hardware integration, software development, system verification and other stages. Including: architecture design software Genesis Architect, digital logic software Pegasim, enterprise-level hardware Omniark, the industry's advanced prototype verification Prodigy, through digital circuit debugging software CLARYTI and rich verification IP library, to establish a unified design, Verification and debugging environments to ensure that different teams can collaborate efficiently in the same chip project, thereby improving overall development efficiency.
By selecting the right verification tool at different design stages, Silchip not only improves verification efficiency, but also shortens the time-to-market of chips. This approach has gained widespread acceptance in the field of chip design and has been adopted by several leading companies.
At the end of his speech, Mr. Lin Junxiong focused on the successful cases of Silchip cooperating with many ecological partners in recent years. By working with key partners in the industry, the company continues to empower innovation in popular fields such as RISC-V, Internet of Things, GPUs, DSPs, and cloud computing. In these collaborations, Silchip highlighted its deep experience and market leadership in prototyping.
For example, for the high-profile RISC-V architecture, Silchip cooperated with the Beijing Open Source Chip Research Institute to provide support for the "Xiangshan" high-performance RISC-V processor core developed by it. By providing its Xinshen Tong prototype verification system S7-19P, Silxin helped the "Xiangshan" project to achieve synchronization in software and hardware development, which greatly improved the speed of the project. The flexibility and scalability of the system allows it to meet a wide range of design and application needs.
Another example is in the IoT and smart hardware markets, where wireless connectivity is becoming a key force driving a new wave of technology, with the development of Wi-Fi 6 being particularly compelling. In collaboration with Sirius Wireless, an RF IP solution provider, Silchip's prototyping EDA tool provides key support for building a Wi-Fi6 BT RF IP verification system. With this end-to-end verification solution, Silchip and Sirius Wireless are jointly advancing the adoption of wireless connectivity technology in the IoT space, thereby providing a strong impetus for the growth of the entire market.
Through a series of cooperation cases, Silchip not only accelerates circuit design innovation, but also strengthens its position as the industry's leading digital front-end EDA provider, making important contributions to the development of the IoT field and the smart hardware market.
With the successful conclusion of the "2023 EDA IP Exchange Conference for Integrated Circuit Enterprises", we not only witnessed the leading role of Silchip in promoting innovation and cooperation in the integrated circuit industry, but also felt the infinite expectations of the entire industry for the future development of science and technology.
Through Mr. Lin Junxiong's wonderful speech, we learned that Silchip has demonstrated its outstanding ability in technological innovation and market leadership, whether it is in the process of accelerating chip design innovation in heterogeneous verification methods, or in the process of co-creating efficient circuit designs with ecosystem partners.
With the continuous advancement of technology and the continuous expansion of the market, we look forward to Silchip continuing to play an important role in the integrated circuit industry and leading the industry to higher achievements."
