DAFCA is an EDA software company focused on post-silicon SoC validation, debug, and in-system bring-up.  DAFCA's tools allow design teams to seamlessly incorporate our patented and compact reconfigurable instrumentation IP into their devices, pre-silicon, in order to observe, discover, and diagnose at-speed, in-silicon functional behavior.

Physical device validation and debug is the most expensive and unpredictable stage of design implementation; DAFCA tools provide on-chip visibility, which leads to dramatically lower development and integration costs.  ClearBlue™ Instrumentation Studio is a powerful, easy to use, pre-silicon environment for insertion of reconfigurable instruments directly into RTL.  ClearBlue™ Silicon Validation Studio offers a wide spectrum of in-system, at-speed analysis capabilities, including logic analyzers, event-based validation and assertion-based debug, and performance monitoring. ClearBlue™ is compatible by design with all major EDA tool flows.

DAFCA is venture-backed and privately held.  In addition, DAFCA was presented a prestigious Advanced Technology Program (ATP) award by the National Institute of Standards and Technology to contribute to funding research and development in the new field of DFD technology.
