The IP Core Distribution Challenge

hat comes to mind when you hear the term IP Distribution? How do people like ARM and MIPS get their cores into people’s hands? Pricing, contracts and legal issues? Maybe third-party Web sites like Chip Estimate and Design & Reuse? Yes, they are all factors in how independently developed IP

The CMOS Image Sensors industry is about to change, with major investment in manufacturing & design

The CMOS Image Sensor (CIS) industry reaches US$10B for the first time. Indeed, driven by mobile and automotive applications, the CIS industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 10.6% from 2014 – 2020. Yole Développement (Yole) announces a US$16.2B market by 2020 (in value):
“Smartphone applications still take the lion’s

ASIC design for the IoT

As everybody is trying to figure out what the Internet of Things (IoT) will look like and how connected things will work, I’d like to address a question that many people have: why design your own Integrated Circuit (IC) rather than just use an off-the-shelf processor, write software and be done?

In a

What’s wrong with RTL for ASIC designs?

I think this is an appropriate first post, because this is a question that we’ve heard many times when talking with hardware engineers trying to sell our product. The fact that there are (now) about a dozen companies trying to replace RTL with alternatives (I’ll talk about HLS in other

If Your Chip Is Not an SoC, It Soon Will Be

Last week’s post was addressed primarily to those of you who are already designing SoCs. We made the point that more and more SoCs have multiple processors, either homogenous or heterogeneous, and that most or all of those processors do or will have caches. This led to the main conclusions of the

Moore’s Law Will Not Come To An End Anytime Soon

Gordon Moore said‚ on the 40th anniversary of his law that “Moore’s law is really about economics.” What did he really mean by that? In 1965 when Gordon Moore put forth Moore’s law based on his observation, those years were Golden years of Free Market Capitalism in America. The entire decade
