Japanese chip major NEC Electronics has chosen Indian IT bellwether Wipro Technologies for semiconductor design services. Wipro has set up a dedicated engineering development centre to provide chip design services and support activities. The centre will offer front-end and backend design services and IP (intellectual property) to NEC for application-specified integrated circuits (ASICs) and micro-controllers in digital consumer and automotive areas, NEC Electronics President and CEO Toshio Nakajima said. As one of the world''s largest manufacturers of system-on-chip (SoC), micro-controllers and discrete semiconductor solutions, the $5.9-billion NEC Electronics caters to global customers in areas like consumer electronics, and automotive and industrial systems.
With a team of 25 engineers initially, Wipro will work on various designs ranging from 150 nanometres (nm), 130 nm and 55 nm. As a leader in semiconductor design support services, Wipro is familiar with the requirements of global electronics industry and has a track record of delivering quality and winning solutions. Sudip Nandy, Wipro Technologies President for telecom and product engineering solutions, said the software major would leverage its vast VLSI (very large system integration) expertise with its in-house design methodology to deliver advance designs to NEC Electronics.
