June 23, 2020 - Siemens has signed an agreement to acquire Cambridge, UK-based UltraSoC Technologies Ltd., a provider of instrumentation and analytics solutions that put intelligent monitoring, cybersecurity and functional safety capabilities into the core hardware of system-on-chip (SoC). Siemens plans to integrate UltraSoC’s technology into the Xcelerator portfolio as part of Mentor’s Tessent software product suite. The addition of UltraSoC to Siemens enables a unified data-driven infrastructure, and the creation of a solution to help semiconductor industry customers overcome key pain points including manufacturing defects, software and hardware bugs, device early-failure and wear-out, functional safety, and malicious attacks.
2020年6月23日——西门子已签署协议收购总部位于英国剑桥的UltraSoC Technologies公司，该公司提供仪器和分析解决方案，将智能监控、网络安全和功能安全能力纳入片上系统(SoC)的核心硬件。西门子计划将UltraSoC的技术集成到Xcelerator产品组合中，作为Mental Tessent软件产品套件的一部分。将UltraSoC整合到西门子后，可以实现统一的数据驱动基础架构，并创建一个解决方案来帮助半导体行业客户克服关键难题，包括制造缺陷、软件和硬件缺陷、设备早期故障和磨损、功能安全和恶意攻击。
UltraSoC is a pioneer of embedding monitoring hardware into complex SoCs to enable “fab-to-field” analytics capabilities designed to accelerate silicon bring-up, optimize product performance, and confirm that devices are operating “as designed” for functional safety and cybersecurity purposes. Tessent is a specialist in SoC design-for-test (DFT) solutions, and has established strengths in the field of automotive functional safety via its Tessent Safety Ecosystem. These two offerings are the foundation of a complete package of solutions, encompassing semiconductor design and production, functional safety, cybersecurity, and functional optimization of products in the field.
UltraSoC是将监控硬件嵌入复杂SoC中的先驱，可实现“晶圆厂到现场”分析功能，旨在加速芯片生产，优化产品性能并确认设备运行符合功能安全和网络安全的“设计”要求。Tessent是SoC测试设计（DFT）解决方案的专家，并通过其Tessent安全生态系统在汽车功能安全领域确立了优势。这两个产品是整套解决方案的基础，包括半导体设计和生产、功能安全、网络安全和该领域产品的功能优化。
The combination of Siemens and UltraSoC technology are intended to benefit the entire semiconductor product lifecycle, including structural, electrical, and functional capabilities of SoCs. It also supports Siemens’ comprehensive digital twin with UltraSoC providing monitoring of the real device.
西门子与UltraSoC技术的结合将使整个半导体产品生命周期受益，包括SoC的结构、电气和功能能力。它还通过UltraSoC支持西门子全面的数字孪生系统，从而提供对真实设备的监控。
UltraSoC‘s products are used in the automotive, computing, storage and semiconductor industries. The company was recently selected as a participant in the DARPA AISS (Automatic Implementation of Secure Silicon) program; and is a member of the Secure-CAV consortium, an ambitious collaborative project that aims to improve the safety and security of tomorrow’s connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Siemens’ acquisition of UltraSoC is due to close in the fourth quarter of Siemens’ fiscal year 2020. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
UltraSoC的产品用于汽车、计算、存储和半导体行业。该公司最近被选为美国国防高级研究计划局AISS(自动实现安全硅)项目的参与者；并且是Secure-CAV联盟的成员，该联盟是一个雄心勃勃的合作项目，旨在提高未来联网和自动驾驶汽车（CAV）的安全性。西门子对UltraSoC的收购将在西门子2020财年第四季度完成。交易具体条款没有披露。
