An increasing reliance on commercial and re-used IP and more emphasis placed on software development is adding even more pressure onto semiconductor design teams to figure out the benefits and ...

An IP based development methodology for building system-on-a-chip solution is described. The methodology is illustrated through a memory centric SoC architecture template intended for streaming data ...

Power Management is one of the major chip design challenges amongst all the dimensions of the design cycle. It poses problems for packaging, portability, & reliability (PPR), e.g.,“high system cost of ...

The diversity of 3D multi-die design further complicates IP requirements. Common topologies, including face-to-face (F2F), ...

Here is an all too familiar story. IC company Xco focuses on its core competency, but still needs to deliver a complete system-on-a-chip that includes analog. Luckily, analog IP is readily available ...

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 ...

Amongst various pre-silicon solutions, Software Simulation Platforms have always been the preferred environment due to early availability, ease of use, ease of access, lower cost as compared to FPGAs ...
