01 · IP + VIP models

Start estimating before you license.

Full-stack IP and VIP models covering RISC-V cores, chiplet interfaces, PCIe, CXL, UALink, UFS, standard buses, and common peripherals. Not compliance IP. Estimation IP, built so your architects can size the SoC, run the flow, and lock schedule before any third-party license closes.

  • RISC-V cores
  • Chiplet interfaces
  • PCIe · CXL · UALink
  • UFS · standard buses
  • Peripheral models
  • Bus fabrics
The point isn't to replace production IP. The point is to stop waiting for it before you can estimate anything.
02 · Silverchips CLI

Agentic AI models. One CLI.

The Silverchips CLI wraps our agentic AI models around the flow you already run. Feed it a YAML spec, point it at our VIP library, it assembles a complete UVM testbench. Point it at any netlist, it runs the full verification pipeline in one command, from RTL simulation through final board simulation with GDS-extracted parasitics.

  • Agentic UVM TB gen
  • YAML spec input
  • VIP library integration
  • RTL simulation
  • Pin-level board sim
  • Post-synth GLS
  • Post-PnR GLS
  • Boardsim (GDS parasitics)
One CLI. Every stage. Source RTL to signoff parasitics.
03 · Full-SoC verification

Verification that matches the workload.

We build full-SoC testbenches for automotive, sensor-fusion, and AI-compute silicon. RISC-V A-core, M-core, and S-core integration. Camera, radar, and lidar fusion executed at the model level inside the testbench. CNN and NPU workload coverage. Not IP-block toy tests. The workload your chip will actually run in the field.

  • RISC-V A · M · S core TB
  • Sensor fusion model exec
  • CNN accelerator coverage
  • NPU workload verification
  • UVM · coverage-driven
  • ADAS full-SoC integration
The bugs that matter live at the workload level. Block-level testing doesn't find them.
