5G Lab Germany and Racyics announce cooperation

In cooperation with the chair of Highly Parallel VLSI Systems and Neuro Microelectronics in the 5G Lab Germany, Racyics develops advanced Mixed-Signal Circuits, such as analogue-to-digital converters for analogue frontends, for IoT applications in the most advanced nodes like GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ newest 22nm FDSOI technology 22FDX®. The Cooperation is based on makeChip, an innovative hosted design service platform developed by Racyics in close collaboration with GLOBALFOUNDRIES. Targeted for start-ups, SMEs, research institutes and universities, makeChip is a central gateway to design integrated circuits based on advanced semiconductor technologies.

The platform provides IT infrastructure with a full set of EDA tool installations and technology data setup, i.e. PDKs, foundation IP, complex IP. All tools and design data are linked by Racyics’ silicon proven design flow and project management system. The turnkey environment enables any makeChip customer to realize complex System on Chips in the most advanced technology nodes.

"The cooperation with Racyics enables us to drive our research towards the development of 5G applications in leading edge technologies" stated Prof. Christian Mayr, head of the chair of Highly Parallel VLSI Systems and Neuro Microelectronics.

As industry partner of the 5G Lab Germany, Racyics will bring in its experience in complex SoC realizations and optimize makeChip to 5G requirements. This will enable and speed up the implementation of future 5G systems.

"In cooperation with the 5G Lab, Racyics drives the development of a design and IP ecosystem which enables innovative research groups and start-up companies to realize extremely energy efficient SoCs with integrated mixed signal and RF components for 5G applications based on GLOBALFOUNDRIES’ 22FDX®”, stated Holger Eisenreich, CEO of Racyics.

"Racyics' platform enables 5G Lab Germany members and partners to accelerate prototyping their innovative hardware solutions in most advanced semiconductor technologies. This is an essential paving stone on our road towards 5G" stated Prof. Gerhard Fettweis, 5G Lab Germany.
