About Pengkan Semiconductor
Pengkan Semiconductor is a fabless developer of networking and edge-computing silicon for distributed intelligent systems. Its portfolio centres on system-on-chip designs and the TS-PON architecture, which combines optical-network connectivity with processing intended for edge AI and control. The target applications include industrial automation, autonomous machines, vehicles and fixed-network equipment that must move sensor data quickly while executing part of the workload locally.
The company also provides reference designs and system solutions around its chips, helping equipment makers connect the semiconductor layer to cameras, sensors, communications and control electronics. This places Pengkan between component design and finished-machine integration: the networking silicon carries time-sensitive data across the system, while edge processing reduces dependence on a remote datacentre for inference or control. Research and design operations span several locations, with the company focusing on architecture, chip development and customer integration rather than manufacturing complete robots or network equipment.

- 2024-02-06 - Partnership - Pengkan Semiconductor and Axera collaborate on optical robot networking
The proposed network uses Core, Gate and Node elements to support flexible topologies. Core and Node communicate through a single optical fibre to reduce routing demands in confined robot structures. Qiming described the design as avoiding electromagnetic interference and reducing wiring complexity.
