The IP Subsystem Race is On-May 24, 2012 |
Designers at large IDMs first created their own IP Subsystems out of the discrete IP blocks they were already licensing or had developed internally. This was done to both reduce the level of effort they were expending to create a certain level of functionality and to increase the performance of these discrete blocks in the design.
This process has been occurring for the last 4 – 5 years as a captive activity at several of the larger IDMs around the world. Now, for the first time, major IP Vendors are starting to offer their own IP Subsystems as products available from the 3rd Party market to designers at companies of all sizes.
