HCLTech and CAST Expand Partnership to Offer Customised Chips to OEMs

HCLTech, a leading global technology company, and Computer Aided Software Technologies, Inc. (CAST), a semiconductor intellectual property (IP) cores provider, announced plans to scale their partnership to offer customised chips to enable original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) across industries accelerate their digital transformation and automation journeys.

HCLTech will enhance design verification, emulation and rapid prototyping of its turnkey system-on-chip (SoC) solutions by leveraging silicon-proven IP cores and controllers from CAST.

This will help OEMs in varied industries including automotive, consumer electronics and logistics, to significantly reduce engineering risk and development costs.

“CAST shares our vision for innovative, industry-leading electronic systems design. Their high-quality and well-supported IP cores, coupled with HCLTech’s system integration design expertise, will enable us to deliver superior custom chips to our customers worldwide,” said Vijay Guntur, President, Engineering and R&D Services, HCLTech.

“Like CAST, HCLTech has a decades-long heritage of delivering superior semiconductor SoC solutions to their customers and partners. We look forward to working together with HCLTech and enhancing the reliability, efficiency and user-friendly nature of semiconductor SoCs,” said Nikos Zervas, CEO at CAST.

CAST is a silicon IP provider founded in 1993. CAST’s ASIC and FPGA IP product line includes microcontrollers and processors; compression engines for data, images, and video; interfaces for automotive, aerospace, and other applications; various common peripheral devices; and comprehensive SoC security modules.
