Corporate Profile

About S2C

Founded and headquartered in San Jose, California, S2C has been successfully delivering rapid SoC prototyping solutions since 2003. S2C provides:

   Rapid SoC FPGA-based prototyping hardware and automation software
   Prototype Ready™ IP, Platforms, and Accessories
   System-level design verification and acceleration

S2C's value is our singular focus on SoC/ASIC development. Our highly qualified engineering team and customer-focused sales force understands our customers’ SoC development needs. S2C’s unique FPGA-based solution, using our patented TAI IP technology, enables designers to quickly assemble FPGA-based SoC prototypes on S2C FPGA boards. This gives customers an early start on software development, typically the long pole item in development schedules. Combining rapid prototyping methodologies with a comprehensive portfolio of Prototype Ready IP and advanced verification and acceleration solutions, S2C solutions greatly reduces the SoC design cycle.

In addition to the headquarters in San Jose, CA, S2C currently has 4 direct offices located in Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen China and HsinChu, Taiwan. S2C is also the organizer of the annual SoCIP seminar and exhibition in China, which brings SoC designers from the Asia-Pacific region together with international silicon IP and SoC solution vendors.

S2C Mission

S2C’s mission is to develop system-on-chips (SoC) prototyping solutions that enable rapid design exploration, hardware realization and pre-silicon software development. S2C provides FPGA-based prototyping hardware and software, Prototype Ready™ IP, Accessories and Reference Designs plus design services to help our customers get their SoC designs from concept through production.

S2C in China

Dedicated to provide leading total solutions in facilitating systems to chip innovations, S2C has three major solutions for SoC development in China:

    Rapid SoC prototyping on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)
    Third-party silicon intellectual properties (IP)
    SoC design, prototype and production Services

In China, S2C's has a highly qualified local engineering team and customer-focused sales force that understands our customers' commercial needs in SoC development. S2C currently has 3 direct offices located in Shanghai, Beijing and Shenzhen to meet the demand for accelerated SoC design activities in China. S2C is also the organizer of the annual SoCIP seminar and exhibition in China, which brings together SoC designers/professionals from the Asia-Pacific region and international silicon IP and SoC solution vendors.

S2C History

S2C was founded in San Jose, California in 2003 by a group of Silicon Valley veterans with extensive knowledge in ASIC emulation, FPGA prototyping, and SoC validation technologies. In April 2004, S2C set up its engineering development center in Shanghai. With a rapidly growing customer base in China, S2C subsequently established sales offices in Beijing and Shenzhen plus a direct sales office in HsinChu, Taiwan. Currently, the US office focuses on technology research, strategic alliances, and North American marketing and sales; the China offices focus on product development and Asian marketing and sales.
