Siemens Digital Industries Software today announced that it has signed an exclusive OEM agreement for its EDA business to bring Alphawave Semi’s portfolio of high-speed interconnect silicon IP to market through its sales channel. This includes Alphawave Semi’s industry-leading IP platforms for connectivity and memory protocols such as Ethernet, PCIe, CXL, HBM, and UCIe (Die-to-Die) implementations. Beyond the IP sales channel agreement, both companies will collaborate to deliver comprehensive Spec to Silicon Solutions by jointly engaging with customers and leveraging their respective capabilities and strengths.
This agreement will accelerate customer access to Alphawave Semi’s AI-driven, advanced silicon IP platforms via Siemens’ expansive EDA global sales force. These solutions consist of complete silicon IP building blocks that customers can license and integrate into advanced system-on-chip (SoC) designs, including implementations of 3D-IC and chiplet-based technologies. The solutions are especially critical for customers in major technology growth markets such AI, autonomous vehicles, data networking, hyperscaling and storage – markets where 3D-IC designs, chiplets and advanced manufacturing nodes are critical.
“The addition of Alphawave Semi’s silicon IP introduces industry leading technology to our customers, empowering them to achieve unprecedented advances across diverse industries in dramatically shortened timescales,” said Mike Ellow, CEO, Siemens EDA, Siemens Digital Industries Software. “We look forward to collaborating with Alphawave Semi to deliver state-of-the-art IP that addresses the most complex connectivity challenges, at the world’s leading advanced process nodes.”

“Siemens Digital Industries Software is a key and trusted partner for AI and hyperscaler developers, and our agreement simplifies and speeds the process of developing SoCs for these, and other leading-edge technologies, to incorporate Alphawave Semi’s IP,” said Tony Pialis, president and CEO, Alphawave Semi. “Our technologies play a critical role in reducing interconnect bottlenecks and this collaboration greatly expands our customer reach, allowing more companies to deliver next-level data processing.”
Siemens will serve as a key partner associated with Alphawave Semi’s PHY, Controller, and Subsystem platform IP optimized for advanced technology nodes – either individually or in concert with Siemens’ comprehensive range of EDA tools and services.
Siemens and Alphawave Semi‘s sales and solutions teams are joining forces to address the increasing demand for custom silicon and chiplet-based ASICs in the AI era. Together, they will provide a comprehensive solution stack that spans from initial concepts to finished production parts. This collaboration aims to serve high-growth markets in AI, HPC, and Networking, offering flexible business models tailored to various customer categories.
