Openedges Technology, South Korean semiconductor design intellectual property (IP) platform, announced on Wednesday that it has entered into a vehicle semiconductor IP licensing agreement with Aisin, a subsidiary of Japan's Toyota Group and the world's sixth-largest automotive component company.
Under the agreement, Openedges will supply the "ORBIT DDR memory controller IP" (OMCTM) and "ORBIT DDR PHY IP" (OPHYTM) to Aisin to support high-performance LPDDR5 memory standards for vehicle applications.
Openedges' LPDDR5 OPHY and OMC IP provide a maximum data transfer rate of 6.4 Gbps when used simultaneously. The company claims that the highest level of DDR IP is required for vehicle system-on-chips (SoC) to ensure reliability and safety.
Openedges mentioned that Aisin evaluated the performance and service quality of the IP already on the market before ultimately choosing Openedges' LPDDR5 IP.
"This agreement demonstrates Openedges' technological capabilities in the face of the strict standards of Japan's automotive market," said Lee Seong Hyun, CEO of Openedges.
