VeriSilicon (688521.SH) has introduced its high-performance automotive-grade intelligent driving system-on-chip (SoC) design platform, which has been successfully validated and implemented in customer projects. This platform, based on VeriSilicon’s Silicon Platform as a Service (SiPaaS) model, is designed to support the growing demands of high-performance computing applications in areas such as autonomous driving and advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS).
The platform has been developed in accordance with ISO 26262, the international standard for automotive functional safety management systems, allowing VeriSilicon to offer comprehensive custom solutions for automotive chips that meet stringent functional safety requirements. With a broad range of automotive-grade intellectual property (IP) and a complete intelligent driving software ecosystem, the platform provides end-to-end support, covering chip design, verification, and certification, as well as safety requirement analysis, architecture design, and assistance with certification.
The intelligent driving SoC design platform features a flexible, configurable architecture, facilitating seamless integration of various co-processors such as multi-core Central Processing Units (CPUs), image signal processors, video codecs, and neural network processors. It also offers an optional ASIL D-level functional safety island developed by VeriSilicon. The platform incorporates a high-speed, high-bandwidth memory subsystem to ensure superior data throughput and real-time processing capabilities. Optimized for advanced automotive-grade process nodes, including 5nm and 7nm, it delivers exceptional power, performance, and area (PPA) characteristics.
Wiseway Wang, Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Custom Silicon Platform Division at VeriSilicon, stated, “As the intelligent vehicle industry rapidly evolves, our automotive-grade SoC design platform strikes a balance between performance, safety, and flexibility, empowering automotive manufacturers to quickly meet market demands. With over a decade of experience in the automotive sector, VeriSilicon has built a solid reputation in microcontroller units (MCUs), in-cabin systems, and intelligent driving technologies. By leveraging our ISO 26262-compliant design processes, IPs, and software services, we have successfully delivered custom intelligent driving chips based on advanced automotive-grade process technologies. We are also advancing the development of Chiplet solutions for intelligent driving, and we remain committed to driving innovation and enhancing safety and intelligence within the automotive industry.”
VeriSilicon Microelectronics (Shanghai) (688521.SH) is a leading provider of custom silicon design and semiconductor IP licensing services. The company offers a comprehensive, platform-driven approach to silicon development, supported by a robust portfolio of internally developed IP.
VeriSilicon’s in-house IP portfolio spans six main categories: GPU (Graphics Processing Unit), NPU (Neural Network Processing Unit), VPU (Video Processing Unit), DSP (Digital Signal Processing), ISP (Image Signal Processing), and Display Processing IP. In addition, it holds over 1,600 analog, mixed-signal, and RF IPs.
By leveraging this extensive IP base, VeriSilicon has built a range of custom chip design platforms tailored for AI-driven applications. These platforms support a variety of devices—from low-power spatial computing tools like smartwatches and AR/VR headsets to more demanding edge devices such as AI-powered smartphones, vehicles, and robotics, as well as cloud infrastructure like servers and data centers.
Recognizing the industry’s shift from traditional SoCs (System-on-Chip) to SiPs (System-in-Package), the company has introduced new concepts including “IP as a Chiplet,” “Chiplet as a Platform,” and “Platform as an Ecosystem.” It is actively advancing chiplet-related R&D in areas such as interface IP, packaging technology, and architecture, with applications in AI-generated content (AIGC) and autonomous driving.
Operating under its “Silicon Platform as a Service” (SiPaaS) model, VeriSilicon supports a wide array of sectors, including consumer electronics, automotive, computing, industrial systems, data processing, and IoT. Its customers range from fabless design firms and IDMs to OEMs/ODMs, major internet companies, and cloud providers. Founded in 2001 and based in Shanghai, VeriSilicon has over 2,000 employees, with eight R&D and design centers and 11 sales and service offices worldwide
