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——西門子已簽署協議收購總部位于英國劍橋的UltraSoC Technologies公司，該公司提供儀器和分析解決方案，將智能監控、網絡安全和功能安全能力納入片上系統(SoC)的核心硬件。西門子計劃將UltraSoC的技術集成到Xcelerator產品組合中，作為Mental Tessent軟件產品套件的一部分。將UltraSoC整合到西門子后，可以實現統一的數據驅動基礎架構，并創建一個解決方案來幫助半導體行業客戶克服關鍵難題，包括制造缺陷、軟件和硬件缺陷、設備早期故障和磨損、功能安全和惡意攻擊。

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是將監控硬件嵌入復雜SoC中的先驅，可實現“晶圓廠到現場”分析功能，旨在加速芯片生產，優化產品性能并確認設備運行符合功能安全和網絡安全的“設計”要求。Tessent是SoC測試設計（DFT）解決方案的專家，并通過其Tessent安全生態系統在汽車功能安全領域確立了優勢。這兩個產品是整套解決方案的基礎，包括半導體設計和生產、功能安全、網絡安全和該領域產品的功能優化。

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.

西門子與UltraSoC技術的結合將使整個半導體產品生命周期受益，包括SoC的結構、電氣和功能能力。它還通過UltraSoC支持西門子全面的數字孿生系統，從而提供對真實設備的監控。

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的產品用于汽車、計算、存儲和半導體行業。該公司最近被選為美國國防高級研究計劃局AISS(自動實現安全硅)項目的參與者；并且是Secure-CAV聯盟的成員，該聯盟是一個雄心勃勃的合作項目，旨在提高未來聯網和自動駕駛汽車（CAV）的安全性。西門子對UltraSoC的收購將在西門子2020財年第四季度完成。交易具體條款沒有披露。
