Problem
Many semiconductor projects require a seamless transition from FPGA prototyping to full ASIC implementation, but companies often lack in‑house expertise to manage complex digital front‑end design, mixed‑signal integration, and rigorous verification across multiple domains such as AI, automotive, and power management. This gap leads to extended development cycles, higher NRE costs, and increased risk of functional bugs reaching silicon.
Solution
semify delivers a full‑stack digital design and verification service that bridges FPGA proof‑of‑concept to tape‑out‑ready ASICs. The team provides architecture definition, IP selection, RTL coding, synthesis, place‑and‑route, and design‑for‑test insertion, followed by comprehensive functional and gate‑level verification using industry‑standard UVM methodologies. Verification flows include constrained‑random stimulus, coverage analysis, static timing verification, and dynamic clock‑domain crossing checks to ensure robust operation across mixed‑signal environments. Engagements are flexible: semify can embed engineers directly into a customer’s development team or operate on a milestone‑based delivery model, supplying complete design blocks or end‑to‑end solutions on demand. By leveraging both commercial and open‑source EDA toolchains, the service reduces licensing overhead while maintaining high performance and sign‑off quality. Clients receive detailed design documentation, sign‑off reports, and optional post‑silicon support for debug and ECO cycles, enabling faster time‑to‑market with predictable quality.
Target Audience
semify serves fabless ASIC designers, semiconductor IP vendors, and OEM engineering groups developing mixed‑signal ASICs, AI accelerators, or automotive electronic control units that require expert digital design and verification capabilities.
