Traceability from system intent to silicon.

With TraceSilicon Co-Architect™, an architecture-centric, SysML-based platform, TraceSilicon bridges the gap between requirements, system architecture and semiconductor implementation—creating a continuous engineering thread for complex SoC, SiP and chiplet development.

The TraceSilicon digital thread

Connect what the product should do with how the silicon implements it.

Semiconductor development information is distributed across requirements tools, system models, schematics, netlists and implementation databases. TraceSilicon creates structured relationships across these engineering domains.

The architecture model is the single source of truth.

TraceSilicon Co-Architect™ puts the system architecture at the centre of semiconductor development. Requirements, design data and verification evidence are linked to one SysML model, not to scattered documents.

Architecture first

Functions, interfaces and logical and physical structure are modelled explicitly, so every design decision has an architectural home.

SysML as the backbone

Built on the standard SysML metamodel, so models stay open and exchangeable with established MBSE tools instead of locked in a proprietary format.

Trace links and consistency rules

Versioned trace links connect requirements, architecture and silicon implementation, and consistency rules flag mismatches and change impact automatically.

TraceSilicon Co-Architect™

Four modules. One engineering knowledge thread.

Coming soon — Our software platform is in development. Contact us to explore pilot collaboration.

01

TraceSilicon Modeller

Explore existing semiconductor design data and generate structured physical architecture that can be transferred into SysML/MBSE environments.

02

Consistency & Traceability

Connect requirements, architecture and implementation; detect mismatches and support change-impact analysis across engineering domains.

03

TraceSilicon AI

Use structured engineering models as a foundation for AI-assisted reviews, engineering analysis, audit preparation and knowledge retrieval.

04

Digital Twin Enabler

Connect architecture models to test, telemetry and EDA data, so real silicon behaviour can be traced back to requirements and design intent.

Business value

Turn engineering traceability into measurable business value.

TraceSilicon helps semiconductor organizations reduce development risk and the cost of late changes by connecting requirements, architecture and implementation in one continuous engineering thread.

01
Risk & cost reduction

Detect inconsistencies and missing links earlier, before they turn into late-stage rework and integration issues.

02
Shorter time to market

Automate model creation and make change impact visible, reducing manual hand-offs across disciplines.

03
Quality & audit readiness

Keep engineering information consistent and traceable from system intent to silicon, with evidence ready for reviews.

04
Knowledge retention

Capture engineering relationships in reusable models instead of scattered documents and individual experts.

Use cases

Why TraceSilicon

Semiconductor expertise meets Model-Based Systems Engineering.

TraceSilicon is being developed specifically for the semiconductor and electronics domain. The goal is not to replace established EDA or MBSE tools, but to connect engineering information across them and make the relationships accessible, traceable and machine-readable.
