Design Service

As semiconductor companies increasingly develop highly customized silicon solutions, the demand for advanced backend implementation and full-chip integration expertise continues to grow. VNCHIP Labs provides end-to-end Spec-to-GDSII design services that transform architecture concepts into production-ready silicon.

Our services include SoC architecture support, IP integrationIP integration

VNCHIP Labs provides comprehensive IP integration services for complex SoC and chiplet designs, enabling seamless integration of customer-developed IPs, VNCHIP Labs IPs, and third-party commercial or open-source IPs into a unified system architecture. Our engineering teams design and optimize interconnect fabrics, Network-on-Chip (NoC) architectures, bridges, and subsystem connectivity to meet performance, power, scalability, and integration requirements.

We support both industry-standard and custom protocols, including AXI, AHB, APB, CHI, PCIe, CXL, UCIe, Ethernet, and proprietary interfaces. Our services include protocol adaptation, clock and reset integration, address-map definition, coherency integration, bandwidth optimization, verification, timing closure support, and system-level validation to ensure reliable operation across heterogeneous IP environments.
, RTL developmentRTL Development/Refinement

VNCHIP Labs provides RTL development and refinement services for SoCs, ASICs, chiplets, and subsystem designs across AI, networking, data center, automotive, and edge applications. Our engineering teams can develop original RTL implementations based on customer-provided architecture and microarchitecture specifications, delivering scalable, synthesizable, and verification-ready designs optimized for performance, power, and area goals.

In addition to new RTL development, VNCHIP Labs offers RTL refinement services to enhance existing or incomplete RTL implementations. This includes improving functionality, performance optimization, protocol compliance, code restructuring, timing-aware modifications, low-power enhancements, debug support, and integration readiness. Our teams work closely with customers to accelerate development schedules while improving design quality, maintainability, and first-silicon success.
