Siemens acquires UltraSoC to drive design for silicon lifecycle management
“Siemens’ acquisition of UltraSoC means that
for the first time our customers can access not just design-for-test, but a
comprehensive ‘Design for Lifecycle Management’ solution for system-on-chips,
including functional safety, security and optimization,” says Brady Benware, Tessent
Vice President and General Manager, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “By
utilizing design augmentation to detect, mitigate and eliminate risks
throughout the SoC lifecycle, customers can radically improve time-to-revenue,
product quality & safety, and profitability. UltraSoC has a fast-growing
business and impressive customer list and, as part of Siemens, can complement
Tessent to create a truly unique offering in the market.”
UltraSoC is a pioneer of embedding
monitoring hardware into complex SoCs to enable “fab-to-field” analytics
capabilities designed to accelerate silicon bring-up, optimize product
performance, and confirm that devices are operating “as designed” for
functional safety and cybersecurity purposes. Tessent is a market leader in SoC
design-for-test (DFT) solutions, and has established strengths in the field of
automotive functional safety via its Tessent Safety Ecosystem. These two highly complementary offerings are the
foundation of a complete package of solutions, encompassing semiconductor
design and production, functional
safety, cybersecurity, and functional optimization of
products in the field.
The combination of Siemens and UltraSoC
technology can benefit the entire semiconductor product lifecycle, including
structural, electrical, and functional capabilities of SoCs. It also supports
Siemens’ comprehensive digital twin with UltraSoC providing monitoring of the
real device.
“This acquisition accelerates UltraSoC's
vision at a much larger scale with the incredible team, assets, industry
know-how and footprint of Siemens,” said Rupert Baines, CEO, UltraSoC. “Being
part of one of the world’s foremost technology companies will allow UltraSoC to
better serve our customers by accelerating R&D, leveraging a much larger
pool of go-to-market resources, and an enormous global infrastructure. It has
been clear since our initial meeting that UltraSoC and Siemens share a vision on
how technology businesses can transform their operations end-to-end, from
design conception to field deployment and we are excited to join the community.”
UltraSoC‘s products are widely used in the
automotive, high-performance computing, storage and semiconductor industries.
The company was recently selected as a participant in the DARPA AISS (Automatic
Implementation of Secure Silicon) program; and is a member of the Secure-CAV consortium, an ambitious
collaborative project that aims to improve the safety and security of
tomorrow’s connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Siemens’ acquisition of UltraSoC
is due to close in the fourth quarter of Siemens’ fiscal year 2020. Terms of
the transaction were not disclosed.
