Having Applied in Customers' Mass Production Proects
Collaborated with GigaDevice
on the first RISC-V general
MCU – GDvf103, including
processor IP core, tool-chain
and technical support.
Collaborated with VeriSilicon to
adopt N200 series cores in their
SoC proects.
300+
Over 300 customers
(licensed and evaluated)
Customized ultra-low power
RISC-V cores to replace
previous ARM Cortex-M
cores in the advanced SoCs.
Customized ultra-low power
RISC-V cores for WITINMEM’s
computing-in-memory AI chips.
Cooperated with Andes on
N22 implementation. Nuclei
completed the hardware
design implementation and
partial of function verification.
Customer Case: GigaDevice GD32V Gerneral-Purpose RISC-V MCU
GD32VF103, a 32-bit general-purpose microcontroller, is based on the RISC-V core with an impressive balance of
processing power, reduced power consumption and peripheral set. The insided RISC-V core, named Bumblebee, is
developed by Nuclei.

Customer Case: Andes N22 Ultra-Low Power RISC-V Processor
Andes Technology Corporation is a leading embedded microprocessor intellectual property supplier based in Taiwan.
Nuclei co-worked with Andes on N22, their ultra compact 32-bit RISC CPU core in 2018 when Nuclei was ust founded.
Nuclei completed the hardware design implementation and partial of function verification. It was a win-win
collaboration for both Andes and Nuclei.
