Buying And Selling EDA Companies
By Ed Sperling - 22 Aug, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling The rule of thumb for mergers and acquisitions is that the majority will fail. So why, despite concerns about big companies buying up the tools of startups, does EDA’s track record look so good? There are a number of answers that are unique to the EDA industry: There is no manufacturing that needs to be absorbed by the acquirer, which greatly simplifies any deal. Sale... » read more

Next-Gen Distributed Machine Processing
By Rama Nemalikanti - 08 Aug, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Rama Nemalikanti The gate count increase of chip designs, especially for mobile application processor system-on-chips (SoCs), is being closely tracked to help guide the development of supporting design and simulation tools. However, sign-off quality power integrity analysis requires the inclusion of the entire integrated circuit (IC) design, along with its associated package and printed cir... » read more

Mixing Custom And Standard Parts
By Ed Sperling - 08 Aug, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling The amount of third-party and re-used IP content in an SoC is on the rise, but once a decision to buy vs. make has been made it doesn’t always stay that way. In fact, chipmakers are swinging the pendulum back and forth across a variety of chips, building IP themselves, standardizing on another vendor’s IP, then sometimes rolling it back the other way. The reasons are usua... » read more

IoT Brings Power Awareness Opportunities

New Silos Form In IC Industry
By Ed Sperling - 25 Jul, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Ed Sperling For the past couple of decades corporations around the globe have been focused on down silos. In fact, it has become a mantra. It’s considered essential for making established corporations even more successful, and it’s almost always at the center of turnaround plans for troubled companies. Moreover, across a full spectrum of companies, it’s regularly cited by management c... » read more

The Rise Of Semiconductor IP Subsystems
By Various Writers - 11 Jul, 2013 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor IP (SIP) market arose when SIP vendors created IP functions that mirrored those found in the discrete semiconductor market and made those functions available to SoC designers in the form of hard or soft SIP blocks. As the SoC and SIP markets evolved, it was a natural evolution that many discrete SIP functions be converged into larger blocks that mimic system-level functions (i... » read more
