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 ...

Innovative laser-trimming technology for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi SoCs brings total on-chip power management. A new weapon in the arsenal for designers of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi (802.11) system-on-a-chip (SoC ...

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in Northern District of California has ruled that avoiding an IP address block to connect to a Website is a breach of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Some ...

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.

Success in the semiconductor intellectual property (IP) market requires more than a good bit of RTL. New advances mandate a complete design, implementation, and verification team, which limits the ...
