Who Should Be Involved In Developing Standards?Collaborative Advantage - Steve SchulzJul. 08, 2010 |
Successful standards are a reflection of changing business trends. For example, the success of OpenAccess was mainly due to growth in custom semiconductor design and data complexities when building flows to support custom design. As power, thermal, and battery life issues became the bottleneck in many consumer-era IC designs, the LPC and CPF/UPF standards emerged. The industry’s latest renewed focus on analog design automation in the inter-dependent fabless-foundry model drove the OpenPDK Coalition. Of course, I could also cite dozens of other examples all across the design flow – from Verilog to UVM – all reflecting needs and priorities of the times.
