Why Use SOS Core
Engineering teams shouldn't have to waste valuable time searching for files, resolving version conflicts, or wondering if they're working from the latest design. As projects grow, scattered data, manual processes, and inconsistent workflows create delays, increase risk, and slow innovation. SOS Core brings order to design data with reliable version control, streamlined collaboration, and EDA-aware workflows that keep teams aligned and productive. By providing a single source of truth for engineering data, SOS Core helps teams work faster, reduce errors, and focus on designing great products instead of managing complexity.
See It in Action
Discover how SOS Core helps semiconductor engineering teams eliminate design data chaos, accelerate collaboration, and maintain complete control over their design assets. See how fast, reliable version control and EDA-aware workflows can improve productivity from day one.
Key Capabilities
Move large design files quickly. Performance that keeps pace with your team's velocity.
Catch errors early. Track changes accurately. Avoid the "oops, wrong version" disasters that cost weeks.
Track design lineage. Know what changed, when, and why. Debugging and reviews get easier.
Engineers collaborate seamlessly. No more waiting. No more conflicts. No more wondering if you have the latest files. Everyone works in perfect sync.
Better tracking means better decisions. Full history means better debugging. Your designs get tighter. Your tapeouts get cleaner.
Nothing gets lost. Everything gets tracked. Rollbacks are instant. Your data is protected and your sleep is better.
Start with Core. Scale to Enterprise.
Core runs on the same proven architecture as SOS Enterprise. Same foundation. Same reliability. Same performance DNA. When you're ready to scale, you don't rip and replace. You simply expand.
Your investment in Core becomes the foundation for enterprise-scale operations. Everything you've built comes with you.
- Start Small: Deploy Core today. Get your team running. Build momentum.
- Prove Value: Watch velocity increase. See quality improve. Measure the difference.
- Scale Seamlessly: When you're ready, upgrade to Enterprise. Same data. Same workflows. More power.

SOS Core is an EDA design data management and version control platform designed for IC, semiconductor, and hardware design teams. It helps engineers manage large design databases, track design revisions, maintain databases, track design revisions, maintain design lineage and revision history, and collaborate more effectively across complex semiconductor development projects. SOS Core provides a centralized environment for managing valuable design data throughout the design lifecycle.
SOS Core addresses common IC design data management challenges, including version conflicts, fragmented design repositories, manual file tracking, and limited design visibility across teams. By providing centralized design data management and EDA version control, SOS Core helps engineering organizations improve collaboration, reduce errors, and maintain consistent design data throughout semiconductor development workflows.
SOS Core integrates with leading EDA platforms, including Keysight ADS, Cadence Virtuoso, Synopsys Custom Compiler, and Siemens EDA tools. This integration allows engineers to perform design data management and version control directly within their existing workflows, reducing disruption while improving revision tracking, collaboration, and productivity across IC design projects.
