proteanTecs, a provider of health and performance monitoring solutions for advanced electronics, has joined the TSMC IP Alliance Program, a key component of TSMC’s Open Innovation Platform (OIP). The alliance includes major and leading IP companies, providing the semiconductor industry’s largest catalog of silicon-verified, production-proven and foundry-specific intellectual property (IP).
proteanTecs’ cloud-based analytics platform provides deep data to the electronics value chain, based on Universal Chip Telemetry (UCT). Machine learning algorithms are applied to measurements extracted from on-chip monitoring IPs, during SoC characterization, high volume manufacturing and lifetime operation. The monitors are strategically placed during design to provide a high-resolution picture of the chip’s behavior, design sensitivities and marginalities, at test and in the field.
The collaboration between proteanTecs and TSMC marks a significant milestone for the industry as it delivers multi-dimensional and parametric visibility of silicon throughout the entire lifecycle, at extremely high coverage.
