Two domestic EDA companies merged, and Fu Yong, founder of Sunyao, joined Xinhuazhang as CTO

Leifeng.com news, recently, the domestic EDA company Xinhuazhang announced that it will integrate the core technology of another domestic EDA company, Sunyao Electronics, and integrate its ultra-large-scale software simulation technology into the Xinhuazhangzhi V verification platform to enrich its system-level verification product portfolio. At the same time, Fu Yong, founder of Sunyao Electronics, officially joined Xinhuazhang and served as Chief Technology Officer.

Founded in March 2020, Xinhuazhang builds the platform base of Xinhuazhang with technical pillars such as intelligent debugging, intelligent compilation, intelligent verification cockpit, and intelligent cloud native, and provides seven product series that fully cover the verification requirements of digital chips, including: hardware emulation System, FPGA prototyping system, smart scenario verification, formal verification, logic simulation, system debugging, and verification cloud. At the same time, Xinhuazhang is committed to the research and development of EDA2.0 intelligent electronic design platform.

As of January 2022, Xinhuazhang has completed a total of 6 rounds of financing, each at the level of 100 million yuan, and is currently in the Pre B+ round.

Shunyao Electronics was established in April 2021. The company’s mainstream products focus on the field of digital verification and achieve point-like breakthroughs in advanced technology. In June 2022, the company officially launched the first two products, ShunSim, a high-speed high-speed simulator. It is understood that the speed of ShunSim is 10-100 times higher than that of traditional simulators. It has built-in Verilator, a robust and safe simulation kernel verified by a large number of commercial cases, and supports a variety of mainstream design and verification languages.

Founder Fu Yong graduated from Tsinghua University. He has worked in top international semiconductor companies such as Quickturn, Axis, Verisity, Cadence, and Synopsys. He has participated in and witnessed the milestone development of simulation acceleration technologies such as Emulation. He has more than 25 years of core practical experience in the field of EDA. .

In July of this year, Fu Yong said in an interview with Leifeng.com that he believes in the entrepreneurial spirit of Silicon Valley and is open to whether Sunyao will be acquired in the future. “Compared with mergers and acquisitions, I care more about whether Sunyao can become a respected company in history.”

Joining Xinhuazhang this time, Fu Yong said to Leifeng.com: “Since the establishment of Shunyao, it has treated the cooperation between companies with an open attitude. Only in this way can we promote the development of domestic EDA as soon as possible. The main thing to come together with Xinhuazhang is It is a strategic consideration, including the complementarity of products, the unification of technical bases, and the efficiency of market and customer service, etc. Such a merger will greatly accelerate the localization capabilities and capabilities of our two companies in the digital front-end field. market layout.”

“Of course, the premise of everything is that the concepts of the two teams are highly consistent.” Fu Yong said.

Wang Libin, CEO of Xinhuazhang, said: “China’s EDA industry is ushering in a critical development period. Mr. Fu Yong has more than 25 years of experience in cutting-edge exploration and product technology promotion in the field of digital verification. The addition of him and his team will further accelerate the iteration of the core technology of Xinhuazhang and expand the market to meet the growing needs of customers for large-scale chip and system-level verification.”
