proteanTecs and MegaChips is collaborating to bring embedded silicon monitoring technology to the chipmaker’s next-generation ASIC and LSI digital systems.
The collaboration is aimed at giving developers and customers deeper visibility into advanced silicon throughout the product lifecycle, from initial development and production through deployment and in-field operation. The technology is being targeted at ASIC and LSI designs used in AI and other high-performance electronic systems.
At the center of proteanTecs and MegaChips collaboration are proteanTecs’ on-chip monitoring solutions and software applications, which are designed to turn silicon-level data into actionable insights. For MegaChips customers, this visibility could help accelerate chip bring-up, improve power and performance management, strengthen reliability and provide greater predictability once products are deployed in the field.
The companies will also integrate proteanTecs’ AVS Pro™ application, which enables dynamic power reduction based on workload conditions. The approach is designed to help systems adjust power consumption more intelligently while maintaining the performance required by demanding workloads.
proteanTecs and MegaChips partnership is particularly relevant for advanced ASIC and Co-Packaged Optics (CPO) designs, where increasing system complexity makes real-time visibility into silicon behavior increasingly important.
By combining embedded monitoring with MegaChips’ ASIC and LSI development capabilities, the companies aim to support better yield optimization and higher reliability across the product lifecycle. The goal is to give customers more insight into how their silicon is performing, helping them identify potential issues earlier, reduce development and deployment risks, and improve the long-term value of their products.
As AI and high-performance electronics continue to place greater demands on semiconductor designs, lifecycle monitoring is becoming an increasingly important part of managing power, performance and reliability. The proteanTecs and MegaChips collaboration is intended to address that need by extending silicon-level visibility well beyond the development stage and into real-world operation.
Leadership Comments
“We are delighted to enter into this MOU with proteanTecs. By fusing MegaChips’ long-established Design for Test (DFT) solutions with proteanTecs’ deep-data analytics, this collaboration brings a transformative evolution to traditional DFT flows,” said Mr. Yasushi Amamiya, Executive Officer Senior General Manager Hardware Div.1/Hardware HQ, MegaChips. “As AI, edge computing and advanced electronics drive higher demands for performance, efficiency and reliability, system companies need more actionable insights into how devices behave under real workloads and real operating conditions. This collaboration also enables MegaChips to differentiate its ASIC design service while helping customers reduce development risk and accelerate time-to-market. proteanTecs’ embedded solutions provide a critical intelligence layer that helps support more robust, controllable and production-ready compute platforms for our customers.”
“MegaChips brings more than three decades of expertise in system LSI development, with deep capabilities across ASIC, ASSP and module solutions that help customers address complex design, production and application-specific requirements,” said Nori Kojima, General Manager, proteanTecs Japan. “By bringing proteanTecs’ monitoring and analytics into their systems, MegaChips will help customers better understand real silicon behavior, optimize designs against power, performance and thermal targets, and deliver high-yield, highly reliable and power-efficient devices.”
