An increasing reliance on commercial and re-used IP and more emphasis placed on software development is adding even more pressure onto semiconductor design teams to figure out the benefits and ...

This paper describes an innovative methodology that makes use of XML-based IP descriptions, including constraints information, to produce automatically synthesis, STA and formal verification tool ...

An IP based development methodology for building system-on-a-chip solution is described. The methodology is illustrated through a memory centric SoC architecture template intended for streaming data ...

Power Management is one of the major chip design challenges amongst all the dimensions of the design cycle. It poses problems for packaging, portability, & reliability (PPR), e.g.,“high system cost of ...

The search for productivity inSOC (system-on-chip) designis a search for balancebetween abstraction and automation.Greater abstractionat a step in the designflow means fewer design elementsto process.
