Si Catalyst adds four partners

Silicon Catalyst, the Californian incubator, has added four companies to its family of In-Kind Partners (IKP):

aDXCorr – Full custom physical design;

Efabless – Configurable open-source SoC design templates;

SalesDev.Global – Sales training workshops and coaching;

Tessolve – Semiconductor and System Engineering services & solutions provider.

DXCorr is the last independent stronghold for the art and craft of full-custom physical design or, as it was once known, semiconductor design. We know that the PPA of physical IP will determine the overall performance of a chip. The final frontier for performance comes from the countless degrees of freedom afforded by physical design — where everything can be optimized down to the shape of a transistor and placement of a wire.

Efabless accelerates the development of new products and initial proof of concepts through a novel solution based on configurable open-source SoC design templates and automated design generation. Non-IC experts use this solution to rapidly, cost-effectively and easily create custom silicon. IC designers use the solution to dramatically reduce cost and time to market for proof of concept of new and exciting ICs. Our model is extendible to advanced packaging, software, subsystems and full systems. Efabless has partnered with a broad range of industry leading companies to develop the Efabless platform, advance open source and open innovation models in electronics and facilitate IC design for novel applications not sufficiently addressed by traditional design business models. Efabless is headquartered in San Jose, CA.
