Today, multicore system-on-chip (SoC) designs can be composed of hundreds of IP blocks, typically containing up to ten million logic gates. One way for SoC developers to create devices of this ...

It’s extremely difficult to create an interconnect for complex SoCs. Building an interconnect requires a huge budget and a lot of engineering talent. Purchasing interconnect IP gives a company a head ...

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 ...

From an accessible history of design to a facsimile of a super rare architecture magazine, these are the books we loved this year.

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 ...

Internet traffic volumes continue to grow at a breakneck pace, and the demands on SerDes speeds increase accordingly. High-speed SerDes play an integral part of the networking chain and these speed ...
