Acquisition International - Issue 5 2022 15 Architect in Embedded Physical IP employees turn challenges into opportunities every day through their inventiveness, tenacity, and passion. Together, we break new ground. Employees are encouraged to explore sub-domains other than their own to develop a holistic understanding of VLSI. The exposure of the fact helps in cross-domain training. It also allows them to fine-tune their core domain basics and develop much deeper overall knowledge beyond boundaries. This approach naturally leads to their involvement in the latest technologies and industry trends. “There are no ‘holy cows’ in DXCorr’s philosophy. Every idea can and must be challenged. This is made possible due to a significant lack of hierarchy. The only thing that matters is the idea. Every employee is at liberty to question existing approaches and suggest improvements. The process of thought is unrestricted”, adds Sagar Reddy, CTO, DXCorr. THROUGHTHE UPS AND DOWNS The biggest challenge DXCorr has faced lately has been to continue operating with the same cohesion that the company enjoyed before the pandemic. The onset of COVID-19 has brought the people at DXCorr closer as a team. The prospect of extended work from home sounds daunting to say the least, but the team ensured that the show went on as planned. Each individual realized the value of time and how best to use it most efficiently. “Time management was already running at high efficiency prior to Covid but has reached new peaks after work-from-home became the norm. Even though we are no longer working face-to-face, we now have the confidence that we can solve our toughest problems due to our online flexibility and creativity”, affirms P. Naga Srinivasa Reddy, India operations head, DXCorr BLUEPRINT OF THE FUTURE DXCorr has made and will continue to make significant progress in establishing a homegrown R&D unit, which will serve to finetune DXCorr’s designs and processes. The firm had invested in growing its artificial intelligence, analog design, and machine learning capabilities a few years ago, which is now bearing fruit, thereby giving the firmmore sub-domains of influence in the VLSI Industry. DXCorr is constantly attempting to infuse its in-house tool development with the most practical aspects of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). These are 2 upcoming domains where the handshaking of hardware-software interplay have the potential to dramatically alter humanity’s course for the betterment. In order to expedite SoC design delivery, there is an ongoing effort to develop next-generation analog IPs and interfaces to optimize inter and intra chip communication. DXCorr has steadily developed a homegrown analog portfolio consisting of high-speed and highbandwidth SerDes in multiple nodes, analog sub-systems like ADC, DAC and GPIOs, and supporting circuitry for next generation MRAM designs. The ultimate aim is to transfer all redundant aspects of chip development to the actual computer, thus freeing up human mind space to solve upcoming problems. GRASSROOTS INFUSION OF VLSI DXCorr’s services come with the guarantee to deliver the same reliable and consistent quality. This evidence of excellence has allowed it to connect with some of the best semiconductor giants in the chip industry worldwide. Whilst many of its competitors fall into a ‘one size fits all’ mentality, DXCorr bucks this trend, instead preferring a way of working that is highly tailored to match the specifications of a client. Looking ahead to the rest of 2022 and beyond, DXCorr is pleased to announce that there are many more projects in the pipeline to be released. Our team has been working tirelessly throughout the past year to establish its own homegrown R&D unit, thereby further improving their internal processes and perfecting their designs. With this unit in place, it hopes to be able to further invest in its artificial intelligence pursuits, the intent being, to contribute to that market as it is one of the fastest growing sectors amongst technological innovators. Our work lies at the heart of and behind the technologies that benefit billions of people every day. This is just one of the ways it will be enhancing its portfolio going forward as it continues to corner the market. The confidence that is seen in potential employees is reassuring. DXCorr’s efforts to provide an ecosystem resulted in a systematic shift in how young India relates to VLSI as a life-changing combination of fulfilling employment and generational nation building. “We’re ready for the future, and can’t wait to meet it,” signs off Nirmalya.
