SOC设计中的IP挑战

IP Challenge in SOC Design

IC设计正逐渐转向系统级芯片(SOC)设计,IP核是其中的重要核心部分。本文介绍了IP核的概念及交付形式,讨论了IP核相关标准、IP验证、IP的质量评估,以及知识产权的保护,并从上述几个方面分析了IP核所面临的挑战。

Integrate circuit（IC） design is turning to the System On Chip （SOC） design, whose important key part is Intellectual Property （IP） core. In this paper, it introduce the basic knowledge of IP cores and its delivery format, discuss the specification of IP and IP interface, IP verification, evaluation of IP quality, and the protection of IP. Then, the challenges have been analyzed from aspects mentioned above.
