What Xenergic does

Xenergic AB is a Swedish semiconductor IP company founded in 2017 in Lund that designs and licenses extreme low-power SRAM intellectual property blocks for system-on-chip (SoC) integration. The company's portfolio comprises three memory families — High-Speed Low-Power (HSLP), Ultra-High-Speed (UHS), and High-Speed Turbo (HSTB, launched 2023) — all generated through the proprietary MemoryTailor compiler, which incorporates the XenVerifier characterization tool that uses a patented importance-sampling method to simulate rare failure events with 6σ+ accuracy and six orders of magnitude speedup over Monte Carlo. Differentiated technical claims include up to 90% power reduction in SoC memory, up to 30% higher frequency than competing SRAM, and operation at supply voltages as low as 650mV versus competitors' 800mV minimum, enabled by a single-rail voltage-scalable architecture. The company serves fabless SoC designers across AI accelerators, high-performance computing, image sensors, IoT/edge, and mobile/wearables verticals, with Bosch Sensortec publicly named as a customer for MEMS-sensor SRAM. Xenergic monetizes through one-time and multi-year SRAM IP licenses, supplemented by MemoryTailor compiler access delivered via direct enterprise sales, foundry ecosystem channels (GlobalFoundries FDX Network, Samsung SAFE, TSMC OIP), and a self-serve MemoExpress portal. As of 2024, the company pursued conversion from public to private corporate status following SEK 40M of equity funding in 2020/2021 and a €2.5M EIC Accelerator grant in 2022.

Core offering

Xenergic licenses extreme low-power SRAM intellectual property (IP) cores for System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. Its portfolio includes high-speed low-power SRAM, ultra-high-speed SRAM, and turbo memory IP, all configurable and delivered through the proprietary MemoryTailor compiler platform targeting AI, HPC, IoT, mobile/wearables, and image sensor applications.

Product overview

Xenergic offers a portfolio of three distinct SRAM IP product families—High-Speed Low-Power (HSLP), Ultra-High-Speed (UHS), and High-Speed Turbo (HSTB)—all powered by the proprietary MemoryTailor™ compiler platform. MemoryTailor incorporates the XenVerifier characterization tool to deliver application-tailored memories optimized for power, performance, and area specifications. The products use foundry-provided memory bitcells with standard interface DFT views for easy integration.
