The Growing Importance Of SubsystemsChip Design Magazine - Ed SperlingFeb. 24, 2011 |
A growing reliance on third-party IP is beginning to expand well beyond just IP blocks and into full subsystems, opening significant growth opportunities for companies competing in this market as well as enormous business and technical challenges.
The IP market is ripe for this kind of convergence. Complexity at advanced process nodes coupled with time-to-market demands has elevated third-party IP from an emergency fix inside most designs to a necessity. By some reports IP now accounts for up to 90% of an SoC design. What’s changing is that IP increasingly is being integrated with other IP, software and even hard IP, so it can be plugged into an SoC with far fewer integration problems associated with single IP blocks.
