Truechip Unveils First Customer Shipment of Ucie Verification IP

Truechip, the Verification IP Specialist, announced that it has shipped an early adopter version of UCIe Verification IP to its customer. UCIe aims to accelerate the development of a common interconnect at the package level. It covers the die-to-die protocols and software stack which is built upon the well-established PCI Express® (PCIe®) and Compute Express Link™ (CXL™) industry standards.

Speaking at SemIsrael expo 2022, held at Tel-Aviv, Israel, Nitin Kishore, CEO, Truechip, said, “UCIe is the need of the hour as it not only assists to increase yield for SoCs with larger die size but also allows to intermix components (or chiplets) from multiple vendors within a single package.

SoC providers can reduce time to market and cost if they can re-use chiplets from previous or other chips (like a processor subsystem or a memory subsystem, etc.) versions or plug-in chiplets from third-party vendors. With the launch of the UCIe Verification IP, I believe that this protocol will enable design houses to configure, launch, analyze, manage sustainability targets, and accelerate them achieve their design goals.”

Mr. Kishore further added, “With high-speed support of 32GTps per lane and the fact that it can also enable the mapping of other protocols via the streaming mode, UCIe is not only a high-performance protocol but also an interconnect protocol which requires very low power. The advantages of UCIe makes it the most innovative technique to smoothen the way towards a truly open multi-die system ecosystem by ensuring interoperability.”
