One Silicon Chip.
Any Communication Protocol.
Zero Board Respins.
We are engineering a breakthrough software-defined protocol emulation chip. Currently in active architecture design and FPGA-assisted verification, OmniBus will allow embedded and hardware engineers to dynamically emulate SPI, I2C, CAN-FD, UART, Ethernet, and proprietary protocols on the fly via high-level software APIs.
Experience Dynamic Protocol Switching
Select a target protocol below. Watch the chip reconfigure its internal state machines, timing engines, and voltage levels in real time.
import omnibus_silicon as omni
# Instantiate programmable physical layer engine
chip = omni.Controller(device_id="/dev/omnibus0")
# Reconfigure physical hardware layer on-the-fly
chip.load_protocol("CAN-FD", baud_rate=5_000_000, termination=True)
chip.transmit(frame_id=0x7DF, data=[0x02, 0x01, 0x0D, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00])

Traditional chips rely on rigid fixed silicon cells or power-hungry FPGAs. OmniBus blends micro-programmable state-machine cores with dynamically configurable analog I/O.
High-Level Protocol Spec
Define your protocol parameters via C, Python, Rust, or import standard timing templates (SPI, CAN, LIN, UART, or proprietary avionics).
Micro-FSM Compilation
The proprietary OmniCompiler compiles timing constraints, CRC engines, and serialization rules into nanosecond microcode.
Hardware-Level Execution
The silicon reconfigures analog front-ends, differential transceivers, and bit-timings. Operates with sub-nanosecond jitter.

RTL Design & Verification
Developing SystemVerilog cores, universal analog transceiver behavioral models, and running automated UVM testbenches for timing closure.
FPGA Hardware Emulation
Deploying bitstreams to high-speed FPGA testbenches and releasing pre-silicon SDK drivers to early design partners for validation.

Say goodbye to sourcing 15 different transceiver chips and worrying about supply chain obsolescence.
Microsecond Reconfiguration
Hot-swap bus protocols in under 1.5 microseconds without resetting the microcontroller or losing system synchronization.
Ultra-Low Power Footprint
Consumes 80% less power than comparable FPGA soft-cores (under 150 mW active, sub-5 μA in deep standby).

Hardware Determinism & CRC
Dedicated hardware state engines guarantee strict nanosecond timing compliance and fault isolation according to ISO & IEEE standards.
Eliminate Supply Chain Risk
One unified BOM component covers multiple daughterboards, prototypes, and production variants across your entire product line.
Plug & Play SDK
Complete software stack with Linux Kernel drivers, RTOS integration (FreeRTOS, Zephyr), and high-level Python/Rust/C++ APIs.

Smart Factory Gateways
Bridge Modbus RTU, Profibus, EtherCAT, and proprietary RS-485 sensors seamlessly into a single edge compute node.
Answers for Hardware & Embedded Engineers
OmniBus Silicon is actively in development by our semiconductor engineering team. We have completed the micro-architecture and are currently in the SystemVerilog RTL design and pre-silicon verification phase. We are collaborating with early design partners who require protocol emulation and will provide FPGA-based emulation prototypes before final silicon tapeout.
Early design partners will receive pre-silicon bitstream packages for standard FPGA development boards (e.g., Xilinx / AMD UltraScale+ and Intel Agilex) along with our Python/C SDK. This allows you to evaluate protocol switching performance and integrate drivers in your lab before physical silicon arrives.
Unlike FPGAs that require reloading multi-megabyte SRAM bitstreams over SPI, OmniBus features a micro-pipelined Protocol Processing Engine with pre-compiled hardware state profiles stored in high-speed on-chip registers. Switching is as simple as updating configuration pointers and calibrating the analog front-end (AFE), taking under 1.5 microseconds.
Yes. Our OmniCompiler SDK allows embedded developers to describe custom frame formats, preamble patterns, parity rules, baud generators, and CRC polynomials in C or JSON schemas. The compiler validates hardware timing and generates deployable microcode.
FPGA emulation prototypes and SDK access will be released to early design partners first (Phase 03), followed by multi-project wafer (MPW) shuttle tapeout and engineering sample shipments in Q1 2027. Apply below to participate in our alpha program.
