IQonIC Works™
IQonIC Works (where IQonIC stands for “Intelligent IP on IC,” and is pronounced /aɪˈkɒn.ɪk/) is a semiconductor company focused on the design and delivery of production-ready integrated circuit products for embedded and industrial applications. Our portfolio includes microcontroller ICs, application-specific ASICs, and custom silicon solutions built on proven RISC-V processor technology.
We design and deliver production-grade microcontroller ICs and application-specific ASICs engineered for deterministic control, long lifecycle deployment, and configurable product differentiation.
IQonIC Works devices are designed to deliver high performance and application-specific configurability, supported by robust development ecosystems suitable for production deployment.
What We Build
IQonIC Works develops and supplies finished silicon products, including:
Microcontroller ICs for industrial and embedded systems
Application-specific ASICs for intelligent sensing and control derived from validated MCU architectures
Configurable silicon solutions enabling product-level differentiation without full custom ASIC risk
Early application areas include intelligent sensor and microcontroller ASICs, USB Type-C / Power Delivery controllers, and power adapter controllers. Ongoing development targets include real-time I/O control, industrial automation, and connected IoT systems.
Architectural Control
IQonIC Works products are built on internally developed RISC-V processor cores, platform IP, and system components that are validated as part of complete SoC implementations. By developing this technology in-house, we are able to optimise performance, power, area, and real-time behaviour for specific application needs.
Our RISC-V-based architectures leverage open industry standards while providing the flexibility required for application-specific optimisation and long-term product support.
By owning and maintaining the processor architecture, interrupt model, and platform components, we optimise:
Deterministic real-time behaviour
Power efficiency under industrial workloads
Silicon area efficiency
Long-term architectural stability
This vertical integration allows IQonIC Works to evolve products without dependency on third-party core vendors.
Why IQonIC Works
IQonIC Works provides unique value to customers through a combination of production-ready silicon, configurable architectures, and deep system-level expertise:
Production-Focused RISC-V Silicon
Best-in-class RISC-V implementations deployed in real silicon, delivering optimised performance, power efficiency, and scalability across embedded applications.
Rapid Product Development & Customisation
Proven development workflows and tooling that enable rapid product development, silicon customisation, and customer-specific extensions — from configuration at packaging through to custom ASIC development.
Flexible Engagement Models
While IQonIC Works’ primary focus is delivering finished IC products, selected processor and platform technologies are also available as part of customer-specific silicon programs, including soft IP, hard IP, and pre-validated GDS platforms, depending on project requirements.
