VeriSilicon, a Shanghai-based bespoke silicon solutions provider, recently launched an innovative automotive-grade system-on-chip (SoC) design platform engineered to cater to the demanding needs of the intelligent vehicle market. This platform stands out by offering comprehensive support for high-performance computing applications such as autonomous driving and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).

Notably, VeriSilicon emphasizes a complete service model that stretches from chip design and verification to achieving automotive-grade functional safety certification, thanks to adherence to ISO 26262 standards. This aligns with their strategic position to provide one-stop custom silicon services, facilitating massive transitions in the semiconductor IP market.

The platform's architecture offers unprecedented flexibility and configurability by integrating multiple co-processors like multi-core CPUs, image signal processors, and neural network processors. It even includes an optional ASIL D-level functional safety island, enhancing overall vehicular safety. Furthermore, its high-speed memory subsystem ensures excellent data throughput, crucial for real-time processing.

In the words of Wiseway Wang, Executive Vice President of VeriSilicon: "Our platform balances performance, safety, and design flexibility, empowering automakers to swiftly address market demands." These attributes are especially relevant as the auto industry accelerates the shift towards smarter, safer vehicles.

The launch represents not only an advancement in automotive silicon solutions but a forward step in meeting future demands for more intelligent and safer vehicles. VeriSilicon's approach underscores the increasing transition from System-on-Chip (SoC) to System-in-Package (SiP) solutions, a monumental shift indicated by their focus on "IP as a Chiplet" concepts.
