SAN JOSE, Calif. — December 3, 2014 — eSilicon Corporation, a leading independent semiconductor design and manufacturing solutions provider, today announced the eSilicon® IP MarketPlace™ environment, the newest addition to its suite of automated online custom IC decision-making portals.
The IP MarketPlace environment helps users avoid complicated paperwork; find which memories will best help meet their chip’s power, performance or area (PPA) targets; and easily isolate key data without navigating convoluted data sheets.
Users can get immediate answers with pre-loaded data for eSilicon memory compilers and I/O libraries:
- Generate dynamic, graphical analyses of power, performance and area (PPA) data
- View data graphically, in table format, or download to Microsoft Excel
- Build and download a complete chip memory subsystem
- Generate and download IP front-end views
- Make changes over time and pay for the IP when ready to tape out
The IP MarketPlace environment contains all eSilicon-developed IP across multiple foundries and technologies:
- Memory compilers, including 28HPM TCAMs, four-port register files and two-port asynchronous register files
- General-purpose I/O libraries from 16nm to 180nm
- Specialty I/O libraries from 16nm to 180nm, including 1.8V/3.3V LVCMOS I/Os
“We wanted to simplify the comparison of results across multiple technologies, architectures and other characteristics and take the guesswork out of hitting PPA targets,” said Lisa Minwell, eSilicon’s senior director of IP product marketing. “This goes much, much deeper than IP portals that serve as IP catalogs. Using the IP MarketPlace environment, users can download front-end views, run simulations in their own environments, then come back to purchase the back-end views of the IP and I/Os that best fit their design.”
