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 ...

Level 3 Communications is broadening the reach of its IP VPN services, which will be available to enterprise customers through systems integrators and resellers later this summer. Level 3 made the ...

This paper describes an innovative methodology that makes use of XML-based IP descriptions, including constraints information, to produce automatically synthesis, STA and formal verification tool ...

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 ...

The search for productivity inSOC (system-on-chip) designis a search for balancebetween abstraction and automation.Greater abstractionat a step in the designflow means fewer design elementsto process.

Today’s SoCs for automotive safety-related systems integrate numerous IP blocks. At the system level, the Hardware Software Interface (HSI) between these IP blocks needs to be verified in simulation ...

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 ...
