Intelligence for Chip Design

BoltChip is pioneering a new era in chip design with an AI-native platform that brings PPA intelligence directly to RTL, enabling engineers to explore more design possibilities before expensive implementation cycles.

Better decisions. More exploration. Start innovating.

Minutes

Bring meaningful PPA insight into the design session, not days later.

More variants

Explore architectural and coding choices while the design space is still open.

P · P · A

Power. Performance. Area. The three constraints that shape every chip.

The Problem

By the time PPA becomes visible, the design has already moved on.

PPA shapes the decisions that matter most, yet meaningful physical feedback arrives after the most valuable design choices have already been made. The result is fewer experiments, slower iteration and expensive EDA cycles.

The conventional loop

RTL changes flow through synthesis, implementation and analysis before the team sees meaningful PPA results. Complex designs can turn each experiment into a multi-day loop.

A different loop

Bring PPA intelligence into the design decision. Screen more possibilities early, focus rigorous EDA runs on the strongest candidates, and spend compute where it creates the most value.

The Approach

Not another heuristic. A physical-design-aware way to read RTL.

Our technology is built around representations and models designed to narrow the gap between what RTL says and what physical implementation will ultimately reveal.

Represent

Read the design

Transform RTL into a representation that preserves the structural signals that matter to downstream physical outcomes.

Model

Connect to PPA

Apply AI models informed by physical-design outcomes to bring power, performance and area insight closer to the RTL decision.

Explore

Focus the search

Compare and rank design variants early, so engineering effort and rigorous EDA cycles go toward the possibilities with the most promise.

Make physical insight part of the design decision, not the final checkpoint.

The Opportunity

Digital is the starting point.

Start with PPA. Build toward full-stack design intelligence.
The longer-term opportunity is to bring earlier, more actionable intelligence across the semiconductor design stack.

Now

RTL → Digital PPA

Bring power, performance and area intelligence into the phase where architecture and implementation choices are still open.

Analog & mixed-signal

Extend the intelligence layer into analog and mixed-signal design, where earlier insight can reshape how teams explore and optimize.

Beyond

Packaging · SI / PI

Move toward package and system-level intelligence across signal integrity, power integrity and the emerging multi-die and chiplet landscape.

Headquartered in Singapore

Founded by semiconductor veterans across digital, analog, physical design, and EDA, alongside leaders from executive search with deep networks across the global chip ecosystem.

The next generation of chip design

What if you could explore 10X more design possibilities before synthesis?

We are working with a select group of design teams on RTL-stage PPA intelligence. If your synthesis loop is limiting how much you can explore, let's talk.
