IP as a Service
According to a DAC panel, most designers think of a block of IP as a product when the IP should really be thought of as a service. The reason is because there is often a need for continuing support from the IP supplier. IP licenses rarely come with a guarantee. On the other hand, products […]
Integrated Portal for Chip Planning
Chip Estimate Corporation launched an integrated chip planning portal with an extensive database of digital, mixed signal, and analog intellectual property (IP) components. The site offers a rank-by-relevance search engine to find IP components, and view comprehensive datasheets with details on IP status in silicon and overall quality. Over 4,000 components are in the online […]
FPGA-based Embedded Processors
There's an interesting article on embedded.com about why you should consider a FPGA as your embedded processor. The authors, Jeff Bier and Jennifer Eyre of Berkeley Design Technology, state the advantages of a FPGA over a processor chip are:
many options for on-chip peripherals and interfaces
flexibility in changing interfaces later (vs being wedded to a static […]
