- Neologic raises $ 10 million to advance CMOS+ CPU, reducing the complexity of the circuit
- Cmos+ enables 6-32 entry doors, reducing the use of energy and matrix size
- First expected processors in 2026, aimed at work loads of the Energy Efficiency Data Center
Neologic has raised $ 10 million in Funds from Serie A, since it works to change the way processors are designed.
Founded in 2021, the company based in Israel (with a presence in the United States planned for the future) does not focus on the transistor scale, the traditional path of the semiconductor industry, but on the reduction of the complexity of the circuits.
Its CMOS+ technology integrates standard CMOS doors with reduced complexity doors, reducing transistor counts up to three times in any process node.
Up to 50% lower energy use
The conventional CMOS is limited by Fan-in, with doors that generally handle no more than four tickets.
Designers trust trees structures to handle higher inputs, which increases both the chip area and energy use.
The CMOS+ of Neologic allows single -stage doors that handle between 6 and 32 inputs, shortening the critical path while reducing the area and energy consumption.
The company says that processors built with CMOS+ can reduce energy use by up to 50 percent and reduce the area of the chip by up to 40 percent while maintaining latency with the current designs.
These improvements are compatible with existing CMOS manufacturing processes, from 130 Nm to 2 Nm, as well as standard EDA tools, so adoption will not require a new infrastructure.
By reducing the matrix size and improving performance, CMOS+ provides cost advantages in advanced nodes, where wafer costs and development expenses increase considerably.
However, it is more than just doors, since CMOS+ also offers records, shock absorbers and arithmetic blocks in energy. Together, says Neologic, these elements provide chips designers with a new infrastructure that simplifies the processor design while achieving the best energy and area compensation.
“We are supporting Neologic as they push the limits of computing with their innovative approach to energy efficiency processors,” said Talia Rafaeli, a Kompas VC partner, who directed the last financing round. “The deep technical experience of the team and the innovative CMOS+ technology position them to significantly impact the space of the AI data center.”
Neologic sees CMOS+ as a way of offering more efficient computing without departing from established tools and processes. It has begun to demonstrate its first processors to customers and expect the implementation in data centers from 2026.
