Post Silicon Validation

Post silicon validation is a critical phase in the semiconductor product development cycle. After silicon fabrication, chips must be rigorously tested under real-world conditions to ensure they function as intended. At PulseWave Semiconductor, we offer comprehensive Post Silicon Validation Services that bridge the gap between design verification and mass production. Our services are built to identify functional discrepancies, performance bottlenecks, and system integration issues that pre-silicon simulations might miss.

Importance of Post Silicon Validation

Despite advanced simulation tools and pre-silicon verification methodologies, real-world environments can introduce unpredictable challenges. Silicon anomalies, timing errors, and hardware-software interface issues often surface only after fabrication. This is where post silicon validation engineers come into play. Their expertise ensures that your SoC or ASIC is robust, optimized, and ready for deployment.

At PulseWave Semiconductor, we understand the high cost of errors in silicon. Our mission is to minimize risk and maximize performance with a structured validation approach, using a blend of automation, domain expertise, and state-of-the-art lab infrastructure.

Our Post Silicon Validation Service Offerings

1. Board Bring-Up and Debugging: We initiate the validation process with custom board bring-up for your silicon. Our engineers validate core functionality, power domains, memory interface operation, and clocking structures. Debugging is done at both the hardware and firmware levels to identify early-stage issues.
2. Silicon Feature Validation: Each functional block within your SoC—whether CPU subsystems, peripherals, or memory controllers—is thoroughly tested for expected behavior. We follow detailed validation test plans that ensure complete coverage of design features.
3. System-Level Validation: Our post silicon validation engineers simulate end-user applications in real-time environments to evaluate chip behavior under stress. This includes high-bandwidth data transfer, power performance profiling, and thermal condition monitoring.
