About XCEL ASICs

XCEL ASICs Sarl, based in Biel, Switzerland, is a design house for digital semiconductor development with a focus on high-throughput error-correction IP cores. The portfolio includes LDPC decoders for WiFi (up to 25 Gbps on 28 nm), 5G-NR and WiGig (60 GHz) as well as an optimized 5G-NR Polar decoder. In addition, the company offers services along the digital design flow: ASIC development and FPGA prototyping for communications, AI and DSP applications, simulation and verification of ASICs and IP cores, IP integration into FPGA boards and embedded systems, as well as synthesis, placement and routing of digital blocks up to ASIC tapeout. Technically, XCEL ASICs relies on routing-aware cross-layer co-design, which jointly optimizes algorithm, architecture and physical implementation to reconcile throughput, power and area in advanced CMOS processes. Target industries are communications technology (WiFi, 5G-NR, WiGig) as well as AI and DSP applications.
