Pre-verified, Integrated Sensor IP Subsystem?SemiWiki - Eric EsteveAug. 01, 2013 |
Last year, I said that the launch of ARC based complete sound system IP by Synopsys ring the bell for the opening of a new IP market segment, the “Subsystem IP”. This week, Synopsys has announced the availability of the DesignWare® Sensor IP Subsystem, a complete and integrated hardware and software solution for sensor control applications. This announcement is a step beyond the sound system IP, as we are talking now about a subsystem IP able to process data from multiple sensors, can be digital and analog, using Host Accelerators on top of ARC EM4 microcontroller, and generate a single output, accessible from the main SoC CPU via the host interface. If we look at the Total Addressable Market for sensors, the figures looks incredible, as in 2017 there will be 30 Billion sensors shipped, or about four per single human being!
