Nirmalya Ghosh, CEOIn the electronics industry, semiconductors are the essential building blocks of nearly every device, emphasizing their critical importance. These tiny components are at the forefront of innovation, powering everything from smartphones with advanced touchscreens to high-performance computing systems that drive enterprise solutions. Semiconductors significantly enhance the efficiency, performance, and miniaturization of electronic devices. As industries continue to push technological boundaries, the demand for semiconductors and System-on-a-Chip (SoC) solutions is decisively shaping the future of electronics.

DXCORR Design stands at the forefront of the semiconductor industry as a pioneering company specializing in SoC design solutions. With its in-house intellectual property (IPs), it excels in developing complex memory configurations, including SRAMs, CAMs, multi-port memory subsystems, and standard cells. Leveraging cutting-edge technology, DXCORR Design delivers advanced physical IP solutions that offer a robust performance spectrum across diverse applications. It is committed to driving innovation and leading the way in semiconductor excellence.

“Every powerful chip design is built on a foundation of physical IP, a foundation that directly impacts the finished chip’s performance, power, area and yield. At DXCORR Design, we understand the critical connection between the quality of IC designs and the underlying physical IP. Our goal is to ensure that your designs are the best in the industry and that requires starting with a foundation based on the best IP available”, says Nirmalya Ghosh, CEO, DXCORR Design.

Headquartered in Sunnyvale, USA, and with its R&D offices in Bangalore and Kolkata, India, the company found its roots in 2006, endeavoring to bring the best facet of hardware design and software development, thereby facilitating chip design and silicon delivery. Amidst the increasing technological leaps, when mobiles, tablets, smart watches, and other similar devices are advancing ASIC (Application-Specific Integrated Circuit) design, a rising concern is being laid around optimization of each processor core in an SoC (System-on-Chip) to meet the power, performance, area (PPA), yield, and application specific cost goal. Well, this demands a market leader who excels in the VLSI ecosystem, offering the best possible PPAL (power, performance, area, and leakage, which are global metrics of semiconductor design) in the shortest time frame. This is where DXCORR Design overrules the competition between all design houses, with utmost efficiency.

Its flagship offering includes a semiconductor memory portfolio in multiple nodes, running the spectrum from SRAM, ROM, Multi-Port Register Files, Caches, MRAM, and also, TCAM. It develops high-performance and high-density SRAMS and MRAMS. DXCORR works on various process nodes such as 3nm & 5nm FinFET, 22nm & 12nm FDSOI, 28nm & 40nm planar, etc. DXCORR elegantly resolves the conflict in concurrent read & concurrent write operations in two-port SRAMS. Power-efficient, high-speed binary and ternary CAMS make its clients stand out in a market that craves faster networks and more efficient processors. The extensive under standing of custom design allows DXCORR to significantly improve the performance of various custom logic and arithmetic functional blocks in multiple process nodes.

The Efficient Team Leadership

Notably, DXCORR Design, an independent innovator in the IP development of deep learning chips, boasts an expert team in semiconductor and physical design. Its ecosystems are constructed with meticulous attention to detail, resulting in robust technologies that have earned a reputation as some of the highest quality in the industry.

It's prime expertise lies in its ability to face challenges and put in the hard yards required to overcome them. Backed by a team of domain experts and a comprehensive suite of in-house tools, not only does it enable clients to achieve successful project execution, but also on-time delivery and with excellent quality. The company’s credit for success is due largely to the irrepressible optimism that all its engineers bring to projects. The principle of self-reliance inspired the establishment of DXCORR Design and continues to guide its operations today.

With industry leading metrics in power, performance, area, & leakage, DXCORR Design operates with agility & precision, consistently offering some of the most competitive solutions available


The company leverages continuous training and development opportunities to its employees helping them hone their skills for maximum efficiency. Its employees turn challenges into opportunities every day through their inventiveness, tenacity, and passion. They are encouraged to explore sub-domains other than their own to develop a holistic understanding of VLSI. The exposure of the fact helps in cross-domain training. It also allows them to fine-tune their core domain basics and develop much deeper overall knowledge beyond boundaries. This approach naturally leads to their involvement in the latest technologies and industry trends.

“We believe in unshackling the creativity of our staff and allowing them the liberty to approach problems from any suitable angle. Our philosophy has been one of nurturing and rewarding merit and fostering an ecosystem of unified problem solving. This allows for the adoption of relevant ideas, irrespective of the source”, shares Nirmalya.

Focus of Technology Advancements & Integration

“We believe physical design is a craft, not a commodity, and for a craft, experience matters. From TCAMs, RFs, and SRAMs, to 112G SerDes, to high performance instruction set processors, DXCORR Design has built components for every part of your data path. There is no part of any modern chip that we haven’t already designed and shipped for a major Tier-I customer”, asserts Nirmalya.

DXCORR Design also has experience with cutting-edge technologies that many physical design firms avoid, such as new materials like MRAM, innovative transistors (including nanowire devices), custom bitcells, and near-threshold design for voltages as low as 0.28V. Even organizations with substantial inhouse physical design teams frequently seek DXCORR Design’s expertise to complement their capabilities.

Future Locale

Looking toward an innovative future, DXCORR Design is excited to announce an array of innovative projects in its development pipeline, set to launch in the coming year. The dedicated team has been working diligently to establish a state-of-the-art, in-house Research and Development (R&D) unit. This initiative aims to significantly enhance internal processes, leading to more efficient workflows and improved design outputs.

With specific R&D focus, DXCORR Design plans to make substantial investments in its artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives. The goal is to make meaningful contributions to the AI market, which is recognized as one of the fastest growing sectors among technological innovators. This strategic focus on AI will not only strengthen DXCORR Design’s competitive edge but also enable the company to expand its portfolio with advanced solutions tailored to meet evolving market demands. Through these efforts, DXCORR Design is positioning itself to secure a stronger foothold in the industry as it continues to innovate and lead in technological advancements.
