Evolve existing designs without starting from scratch.
Your IP is your company’s ‘Alpha’. Let’s maximize it.
As a logic designer, Greg turns proven silicon platforms into new derivatives — next-gen variants, cost-reduced SKUs, market-specific spins. Value comes from extending what works, not starting fresh. The challenge is convergence: every change ripples across specs, RTL, testbenches, and constraints, so Greg must converge faster without breaking the broader design.
With Cognichip ACI, Greg first has the model understand his codebase — its dependencies, interfaces, and architectural patterns. He can turn legacy RTL codebases into structured specs. He makes surgical updates for new features or capabilities without disrupting the design. Specs, RTL, and testbenches update in lockstep and propagate automatically, and he integrates IP from knowledge inventories with intelligent interface matching and automated verification. He recenters PPA across the main platform pareto with ease.
For the company, this turns derivative design from a months-long risk into a fast, repeatable advantage — reusing valuable IP while ACI maintains convergence. The result: more variants shipped sooner, with fewer regressions and a compounding return on every platform.
Artificial Chip Intelligence ACI™ holds a living model of your entire repository, so every modification ripples through dependencies, interfaces, and verification automatically — no re-learning, no manual propagation.
What you can do
ACI transforms how you approach design modifications — from manual analysis to AI-powered precision.
Design Repository Ingestion
Ingest, analyze, and understand existing design repositories. ACI builds a comprehensive understanding of your codebase, identifying dependencies, interfaces, and architectural patterns.
Targeted Spec Updates
Perform targeted updates to specifications to support new features, modify capabilities, or improve targeted objectives without disrupting the broader design.
Incremental RTL & Testbench Updates
Incrementally update specs, RTL, and testbenches in lockstep. Changes propagate automatically across all design artifacts, maintaining consistency.
IP Integration from Knowledge Inventories
Integrate IP from knowledge inventories with intelligent interface matching, protocol adaptation, and automated verification of integration correctness.
Describe the change. Watch it land.
Greg hands Cognichip a legacy spec; it finds the defects, restructures the section that matters, and validates the whole design — then opens the report right in the chat.
“The semiconductor industry is at a critical juncture; an AI framework for innovation and efficiency will unlock massive global opportunity.”
