I've been drafting a whitepaper for a new client that describes their comprehensive semiconductor Intellectual Property (IP) architecture, which brings together a whole variety of nanometer IP blocks (I/O, standard cells, PHYs, memories, etc.) and does all of the routing and optimization for the designer.
Actually it's pretty interesting stuff when you consider the importance of Application Specific ICs and System-on-Chip designs to virtually every technology segment. With so many design elements involved and the time-to-market pressures escalating, it really has become impractical for anyone to design ICs from stratch.
But the ongoing proliferation of both merchant IP and in-house IP solutions has now made it a challenge just to get all of the different IP elements to work together. That's where the comprehensive, integrated IP architecture from Rapid Bridge comes in. Their "LiquidIP" approach is designed to make the whole thing "flow" smoothly from design through the fab, while efficiently supporting prototyping and ramp-up into volume production.
