Testability-first chip architecture.

Bounded ISA → exhaustive formal equivalence checking.

ISA ↔ RTL formal EC is computationally tractable when the instruction space is bounded. With 256 opcodes and pure-function length derivation, the decoder is the smallest formal-EC unit in the entire core. ATPG over the decoder reaches 100% structural coverage in minutes.

TDM → architectural fault detector.

Hardware-typed data turns semantic corruption into an observable fault. ECC catches bit-level corruption; TDM catches type-level corruption. A new fault model — type-mismatch — joins stuck-at, transition, and cell-aware in your fault library.

GALS + FIFO + VALID → predictable trace.

Detronyx pushes the async crossing to a single sync stage per boundary, with FIFO + VALID protocols you can write down. Post-silicon trace timing is deterministic; the JTAG / on-chip trace stream decodes without statistical reconstruction.

Decoupled constant address space → simpler EC.

RTL ↔ netlist EC scope does not grow with the memory map. Constant-side regression sets are stable across memory-layout iterations. Cross-layer evidence — ISA ↔ RTL ↔ netlist — composes cleanly.

One shared representation, one truth.

Architecture, silicon, firmware, and physical-implementation views all derive from the same underlying intermediate representation. No drift between specs.

Discipline-scoped agents.

Each AI role is bounded — Architect, Silicon, Firmware, Physical, Verification, PCB, Mechanical, Physics, Program. Each speaks to the IR; none of them speak around it.

Audit by construction.

Every design decision is captured as a structured artefact: rationale, alternatives, trade-off, owner. The audit trail is a build-output of the methodology.

Human-in-the-lead.

No agent acts unilaterally on safety-relevant decisions. The methodology is built around human judgement and human accountability — the AI loop accelerates, it does not replace.

Edge AI (with safety budget).

On-device inference inside a real-time control envelope. Predictable inference latency is a safety property, not a quality-of-service property. Bounded ISA + deterministic GALS = a per-inference timing contract you can certify against.

Functional safety (ASIL / IEC 61508 / medical).

Cert-track subsystems where every microsecond of unbounded uncertainty becomes a documented mitigation. TDM gives a hardware-native fault detector beyond ECC; bounded ISA gives formal-EC evidence; the decoupled constant address space gives regression stability across silicon revisions.

Sovereign infrastructure.

Israeli IP, Israeli production, Israeli verification methodology — built for procurement contexts where full-stack auditability is a precondition, not a feature. Deterministic timing closes the side-channel surface analytically — a testing advantage, not a security claim.

Embedded cybersecurity / secure microcontrollers.

Auditable design history is the entry ticket. Detronyx ships verification artefacts as build-outputs of the methodology — type-check coverage reports, ISA ↔ RTL EC evidence, predictable post-silicon trace — alongside the part.
