To secure its role in the system-on-a-chip arena, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. Ltd. has rolled out a series of standardized tools to help customers select the right design blocks. Unveiled ...

2nm is the Next Big Thing in chip production, and Synopsys design tools and IP are now ready for production work and tape-outs on Samsung’s latest fab. Samsung has its eyes on the prize, hoping to ...

Analog integrated circuit IP is essential to how microelectronic circuits and systems interact with the environment. It enables things like signal conversion, stable power supply, and communication in ...

Contemporary system-on-chip (SoC) design demands the use of pre-existing intellectual property (IP). It is simply not practical to develop many millions of gates of new logic from scratch while ...

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.

“Taking any of these assessments should be the first step in a business owner’s or inventor’s journey in determining how well they know their own IP assets, exposure thereof, potential mechanisms to ...
