Socionext

Socionext is a system-on-chip company headquartered in Yokohama, Japan, formed in March 2015 from the former system LSI businesses of Fujitsu and Panasonic before listing on the Tokyo Stock Exchange in 2022. It was created to give electronics makers a dedicated partner for custom SoC development after its parent companies exited in-house chip design.

The company designs custom SoCs end-to-end, from front-end and low-power design through physical back-end implementation and test, and also licenses Arm-based CPU subsystems and interface/analog IP macros. Alongside custom design work it sells application-specific standard products such as automotive display and graphics controllers, radar sensor chips and video-processing interface chips to automotive, industrial and networking equipment makers.

1. Custom SoC design: front-end, low-power and physical back-end design services for client-specific chips.

2. CPU subsystems: Arm-based processor cores with power management and security options.

3. IP macro library: interface and analog IP blocks for integration into customer SoCs.

4. Automotive ASSPs: display controllers and graphics SoCs for in-vehicle systems.

5. Radar sensor chips: standard products for automotive and industrial sensing applications.

6. Video interface ICs: TV demodulator LSIs and video-processing interface chips.
