What Aceic Design Technologies does

Aceic Design Technologies Pvt Ltd is a Bengaluru, India-based semiconductor IP and design services company founded in 2011. The firm targets global chipmakers with a portfolio of silicon intellectual property spanning RISC-V processors (RV32IMACFDPB 32-bit and RV64GCB 64-bit, including multi-core variants), interface protocols (CAN-FD/CAN XL, LIN, UART, SPI, I2C), analog and mixed-signal blocks (12-24 bit ADCs, DACs, temperature/voltage monitors, comparators), AMBA-compliant interconnect buses (AXI, AHB, APB, ACE, AXI-Lite), and matching verification IPs (VIPs) for AMBA, interface, and RISC-V protocols. The company operates with a small team of 17 employees and a leadership group of three — Founder & CEO Sivakumar P R, CTO Dr. Dinesh Murugan, and Associate Director of HR and Operations Veeresh S G.

The company's stated technology differentiator is the embedding of AI across the chip design lifecycle, delivered as "AI Agents for IPs and SoCs RTL Design and Verification." These agents are positioned to automate and accelerate register-transfer-level (RTL) design and verification tasks that traditionally rely on deep circuit expertise and manual iteration. The firm also offers design services covering RTL design, design verification, physical design, design-for-test, embedded systems programming, design automation, and IC assembly/test/packaging. The AI capability is described qualitatively on the company website but lacks public technical validation, benchmarks, or third-party endorsements.

Aceic operates a direct, B2B sales-led go-to-market targeting global chipmakers. The business model combines three revenue streams: IP licensing (semiconductor IP cores), design services delivered under Offshore Development Center (ODC) and time-and-material engagements, and AI-enabled EDA solutions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and requires direct consultation. The company is privately held with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no public awards, no published patents, and no named customer logos — limiting third-party visibility into commercial traction.
