Siemens Digital Industries Software has signed an exclusive OEM agreement for its EDA business to bring Alphawave Semi’s portfolio of high-speed interconnect silicon IP to market through its sales channel. This includes Alphawave Semi’s industry-leading IP platforms for connectivity and memory protocols such as Ethernet, PCIe, CXL, HBM, and UCIe (Die-to-Die) implementations. Beyond the IP sales channel agreement, both companies will collaborate to deliver comprehensive Spec to Silicon Solutions by jointly engaging with customers and leveraging their respective capabilities and strengths.
This agreement will accelerate customer access to Alphawave Semi’s AI-driven, advanced silicon IP platforms via Siemens’ expansive EDA global sales force. These solutions consist of complete silicon IP building blocks that customers can license and integrate into advanced system-on-chip (SoC) designs, including implementations of 3D-IC and chiplet-based technologies. The solutions are especially critical for customers in major technology growth markets such AI, autonomous vehicles, data networking, hyperscaling and storage – markets where 3D-IC designs, chiplets and advanced manufacturing nodes are critical.
“The addition of Alphawave Semi’s silicon IP introduces industry leading technology to our customers, empowering them to achieve unprecedented advances across diverse industries in dramatically shortened timescales,” said Mike Ellow, CEO, Siemens EDA, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “We look forward to collaborating with Alphawave Semi to deliver state-of-the-art IP that addresses the most complex connectivity challenges, at the world’s leading advanced process nodes.”
An industry leader in high-speed connectivity IP with 112G and 224G SERDES chip designs across multiple nodes and fabs, Alphawave delivers proven, multi-standard silicon IP platforms that enable faster data transmission and greater reliability with lower power for designs in 7nm, 6nm, 5nm and beyond.
Siemens will serve as a key partner associated with Alphawave Semi’s PHY, Controller, and Subsystem platform IP optimised for advanced technology nodes – either individually or in concert with Siemens’ comprehensive range of EDA tools and services.
