In a previous article, Getting started in structured assembly in complex SoC designs, an unexceptional system-on-chip (SoC) design was shown to contain hundreds of intellectual property (IP) blocks.

For most system-on-chip (SoC) designs, the most critical task is not RTL coding or even creating the chip architecture. Today, SoCs are designed primarily by assembling various silicon intellectual ...

Santa Cruz, Calif. — The lesson of Barcelona Design Inc., the analog automation pioneer now disbanding, is that good technology and plenty of venture money won't save a company with an unclear ...

In today’s complex system-on-chip (SoC) design flows, intellectual property (IP) blocks are everywhere—licensed from third parties, leveraged from internal libraries, or hand-crafted by expert teams.

How third-party interconnect IP saves time, lowers risk, and speeds completion. NoC is the predominant SoC interconnect strategy. NoC IP accommodates multiple interconnect protocols and data widths.

Today’s systems-on-chips (SoCs) integrate large numbers and varieties of intellectual property (IP) that come from multiple sources. Some are developed internally. Others come from one or more ...

Design IP is a key contributor to innovation in the semiconductor industry today. As the complexity and scale of silicon designs increase, so does design and verification time. Design IP enables ...

Irvine, CA – July 19, 2005-- Onyx Semiconductor recently announced the availability of two jointly developed IP blocks for RF and power regulation functions. The OY5100 and OY6100 IP blocks have ...

If it wasn’t bad enough that Moore’s Law improvements in the density and cost of transistors is slowing. At the same time, the cost of designing chips and of the factories that are used to etch them ...

French semiconductor IP vendor Dolphin Semiconductor said its collaboration with HCLTech reflects growing demand for pre-optimized, platform-based system-on-chip development, as energy costs, ...
