Post-Silicon Validation Services That Bring Silicon to Life
Meticulous validation that bridges design verification and mass production
Find What Pre-Silicon Simulation Misses, Before Production Does
Post-silicon validation is a critical phase of the semiconductor product development cycle. After fabrication, chips must be rigorously tested under real-world conditions to ensure they function as intended. Silicon anomalies, timing errors and hardware-software interface issues often surface only once the chip exists.
PulseWave Semiconductor understands the high cost of errors in silicon. Our mission is to minimise risk and maximise performance through a structured validation approach, combining automation, domain expertise and laboratory infrastructure.
Confidence from First Power-On to Production
Catch Real-World Issues Early
Functional discrepancies, performance bottlenecks and integration issues found before they reach customers.
Hardware and Firmware Debug
Early-stage issues isolated at both the hardware and firmware levels, not just logged.
Complete Feature Coverage
Detailed validation test plans that cover every functional block of your SoC.
Stress, Power and Thermal
End-user applications run in real time to profile power, performance and thermal behaviour under load.
Validation at Every Stage After Silicon
A structured path through the lab, from the first board to system-level confidence.
Board Bring-Up and Debugging
Custom board bring-up validating core functionality, power domains, memory interface operation and clocking structures.
Silicon Feature Validation
CPU subsystems, peripherals and memory controllers each tested against detailed validation plans for expected behaviour.
System-Level Validation
High-bandwidth data transfer, power-performance profiling and thermal monitoring under real-time, end-user conditions.
Automotive Silicon
Reliability under temperature, stress and long service life, validated before deployment.
