The Team Behind DRDCL
About Us
SoftChip was founded by three semiconductor and technology industry veterans who previously worked together at Intel. The company is commercializing DRDCL, a proprietary logic structure invented by Jim Davis, as characterizable logic IP for more efficient AI and semiconductor hardware. Soft-NMC is the first commercial application, while the underlying DRDCL platform supports broader arithmetic, reduction, control, memory-interface, adaptive-logic, repair and remapping applications.
