In order to support the existing and future networking demands of customers, manufacturers are racing to provide competitive advantages and higher levels of integration to accompany their unique ...

The fastest, most efficient and cost-effective way to design silicon is by leveraging intellectual property (IP) blocks. This methodology reduces risk, allows a design team to focus on its own ...

Today's SoCs include hundreds of complex IP blocks with millions of transistors each. CSRs are essential for managing these IPs, with some systems having up to a million CSRs. IP-XACT standards help ...

In a previous article, Getting started in structured assembly in complex SoC designs, an unexceptional system-on-chip (SoC) design was shown to contain hundreds of intellectual property (IP) blocks.
