MICROIP Demonstrates Advanced Design Capability with First-Time-Right NFC Silicon, Achieving 99% Yield Solidifying "Silicon-Proven" IP Portfolio to Power AIoT Security and Accelerate Customer Innovation

News Release
2025-12-26

MICROIP (Stock Code: 7796), a leading provider of ASIC design services and AI software solutions, today officially announced that its proprietary NFC (Near Field Communication) transceiver IP has successfully passed silicon verification. The test chip project set a remarkable "First-Time-Right (FTR)" record, achieving an initial yield of 99%. This milestone serves as a definitive validation of MICROIP's high maturity in mixed-signal design and robust process management, offering clients a low-risk, high-performance design platform.

Dr. James Yang, Chairman of MICROIP, presents the silicon validation results of the company's NFC IP.
The project achieved a "First-Time-Right" record with a 99% yield, showcasing the company's precise design capabilities for client ASIC projects.

First-Time-Right Success: 99% Yield Proves Design Reliability Facing the high complexity of analog and RF (Radio Frequency) design, MICROIP's R&D team leveraged deep technical expertise to ensure the NFC IP test vehicle passed all functional verifications upon its initial tape-out.

"This achievement is not merely a technical breakthrough; it is a concrete demonstration of our Design Service capabilities," stated Dr. James Yang, Chairman of MICROIP. "A yield as high as 99% implies that we can offer our clients excellent cost control and mass production stability. By providing Silicon-Proven IP, we significantly shorten the time-to-market for our clients' products, enabling them to launch competitive solutions with confidence."

Industrial-Grade IP Architecture: Ready for Client Integration The validated NFC IP adopts a field-oriented, highly flexible architecture that is fully compatible with international mainstream standards, including ISO15693, ISO14443A/B, and ISO18092. Unlike general consumer-grade specs, this IP block features reinforced anti-interference capabilities and flexible parameter tuning. It is specifically engineered to be integrated into ASICs for industrial environments and specialized applications, ensuring stable communication even in complex settings.

Hardware-Software Integration: Empowering Clients with Turnkey Solutions The success of this NFC silicon validation serves as a strategic cornerstone in MICROIP’s AIoT design platform. Addressing the cybersecurity needs of future smart environments, MICROIP is offering a turnkey solution that integrates this hardware IP with its proprietary AI image recognition software, enabling a "Two-Factor Authentication" mechanism.

To help clients counter security vulnerabilities such as stolen cards or deepfake spoofing, MICROIP provides a verified design path that synchronizes "NFC Physical Credentials" with "AI Biometric Verification." This capability to optimize the integration of underlying communication IP with upper-layer AI algorithms represents MICROIP's core competitive advantage. It allows the company to provide one-stop integrated design services for clients targeting smart offices, data centers, and high-security laboratories, without the risk of integration failure.

Expanding the Design Ecosystem: Focusing on High-Value Niche Markets Looking ahead, MICROIP will continue to expand its library of silicon-proven IPs for non-consumer electronics sectors, covering Industry 4.0, medical equipment, and smart city infrastructure. With the successful verification of this proprietary IP, MICROIP is poised to strengthen its sustainable design service business model. By continuously iterating high-security IP platforms, the company aims to be the trusted partner for system companies, creating long-term value for shareholders and accelerating the success of its customers.
