3 История компании DCT History DCT 20-и летний опыт в микроэлектронике 20 Years of History in Semiconductor Design Founded 1990 as Sican by the Government of Lower Saxony, Germany Acquired in 2000 by Infineon Technologies, Munich Acquired in 2006 by Silicon Image, Sunnyvale, 200 empl. Management buy out at Jan. 1st, 2010 as Dream Chip Technologies GmbH 3

4 DCT Company Profile Dream Chip Technologies Positioned as a fabless Microelectronic Engineering Company for medium to large SoC designs covering the whole range from Architecture, Specification, Design, Verification to GDSII 40 Employees/ 35 Engineers with years SoC design experience Based in Garbsen near Hanover, Germany Member of Silicon Saxony/ Germany Cadence Design Center Partner for Tensilica 4

5 Технологии - Technological Background Consumer Electronics ASIC und System Design Set top boxes ASIC and system designs for major CE players STB building blocks like MPEG2, MPEG4, VC-1 and H.264 encoding and decoding technologies up to 4kx2k resolutions, used in DTV, STB and professional camera applications Best performance/power trade off for the 2HD H.264/VC/1/MPEG2/JPEG IP platform, scalable up to 4k x 2k Video post processing for STBs and DTVs (scaling, deinterlacing, content restoration, image enhancement, composing) Software and RTL design from concept to product qualification HDMI/MHL connectivity 5

6 Технологии - Technological Background Mobile Phone Software and System Design Design and programming of mobile phone baseband and multimedia coprocessor SoCs (for Infineon Mobile) Baseband SoCs building blocks Multimedia Coprocessor turn key development MHL connectivity JPEG, H.264 and H.263 codec designs ISP (Image Signal Processor) building block for CMOS sensors in mobile phones Software and RTL design from concept to product qualification 6

7 Example Project The European Things2Do Project on the 14/28nm FDSOI technology 7

8 The European Things2Do Project - Overview Things2Do: European collaboration among 50 companies to create an ecosystem for the new 28/14nm FDSOI technology in Europe System-on-Chip Design in 28nm FDSOI ST Microelectronics Target Application: Advanced Driver Assistance Systems for next generations autonomous driving cars Strong industry partners from German Automotive Industry and major IP and tool vendors 8

14 Smart Camera Use Cases: InCar Augmented Reality 14

15 Challenges We believe that algorithms define architectures. We believe that efficient architectures are always an optimum in a multidimensional solution space: Dimension 1: HARDware RTL, Synthesis and Layout down to GDSII We envision silicon efficiency: By getting all computing resources useful-busy all the time Dimension 2: ISAware - Instruction Set Architecture We got a decade of experience in designing applications specific instruction sets We can feel how the compiler thinks about specific instructions Dimension 3: SOFTware - Embedded and RealTime We know where the algorithm spend your CPU resources We map your requirements on machine specific algorithms DCT: The CODESIGN Experts 15
