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.

The fastest, most efficient and cost-effective way to design silicon is by leveraging intellectual property (IP) blocks. This methodology reduces risk, allows a design team to focus on its own ...

How can power be optimized across an entire chip when most of a chip’s content comes from third-party IP? Power is quickly becoming a major differentiator for products, regardless of whether they are ...
