NanoBridge Semiconductor has entered a partnership with Siemens to develop a customized FPGA synthesis tool for its FPGA device families. The agreement will give NanoBridge customers access to a version of Siemens’ Precision FPGA Synthesis tailored for the company’s specific devices.
The partnership brings together NanoBridge’s non-volatile FPGA and memory devices, built with its proprietary NanoBridge technology, and Siemens’ FPGA synthesis software. The collaboration is expected to support further work in FPGA design, technical support, and ecosystem building for these applications.
A synthesis flow built around NanoBridge devices
NanoBridge Semiconductor will offer a version of Precision FPGA Synthesis designed for customers working with its FPGA devices. That focus matters because the tool flow will be tailored to NanoBridge’s FPGA device families instead of serving as a general path for unrelated hardware.
The two figures named in connection with NanoBridge’s device families are NBS6503H and NBS1201. The partnership centers on helping customers use a synthesis flow that matches the way these devices are developed and supported.
FPGA synthesis converts a hardware design into a form that can be used with a particular FPGA device family. In this partnership, the tool’s role is tied directly to NanoBridge’s own devices, giving the chipmaker a way to offer customers a design process built around its technology.
Toshitsugu Sakamoto, NanoBridge Semiconductor co-founder and chief technology officer, described the company’s wider focus as follows: “NanoBridge Semiconductor is focused on advancing low-power and harsh-environment semiconductor technologies for aerospace, automotive and critical infrastructure.”
He also connected the Siemens collaboration to the customer experience around those products. “Our adoption of Siemens’ Precision FPGA Synthesis enables us to provide our customers with a synthesis flow tailored for our FPGA device families while continuing to expand the ecosystem supporting our technologies.”
Why the collaboration matters for FPGA development
NanoBridge develops non-volatile FPGA and memory devices using proprietary NanoBridge technology. By working with Siemens on a customized synthesis tool, the company is linking its hardware families with a dedicated design flow and a broader support effort.
That work is expected to reach beyond the tool itself. The collaboration will support further developments in FPGA design, technical support, and ecosystem building for applications using NanoBridge’s technologies.
An ecosystem gives customers more than a chip. It includes the design flow and technical support needed to work with that chip, along with the wider development foundation around the technology. NanoBridge’s statement places those areas at the center of its work with Siemens.
Yukio Tsuchida, Siemens EDA Japan vice president, said the partnership reflects how semiconductor companies are using programmable electronics to advance their products. “Innovative semiconductor companies are driving the next wave of advances in programmable electronics. Our collaboration with NanoBridge Semiconductor to bring the power of Precision FPGA Synthesis to its customers and provide a flow optimised for its FPGA device families demonstrates how Siemens’ technology can help semiconductor innovators accelerate development, reduce complexity and bring advanced products to market with confidence.”
A partnership aimed at customers and the wider technology ecosystem
The planned offering gives NanoBridge a way to present its FPGA customers with a synthesis flow made for its own device families. That alignment connects the company’s non-volatile FPGA and memory products with the software needed to develop designs for them.
The partnership also places technical support alongside FPGA design and ecosystem building. Together, those areas describe a longer-term effort to make NanoBridge technologies easier to develop around, rather than treating the synthesis tool as a separate product.
For customers working with devices such as NBS6503H and NBS1201, the key point is the focus on a tailored flow. NanoBridge will offer the Siemens-based version for customers using the company’s specific FPGA devices, while the collaboration continues to support development around those technologies.
The partnership was announced on September 7, 2026. Its stated goal is clear: combine Siemens’ Precision FPGA Synthesis with NanoBridge’s non-volatile FPGA and memory devices, then expand the design, support, and ecosystem work surrounding them.
