Arm Flexible Access one year later: Accelerating innovation for more than 60 partners and counting

News highlights:

More than 60 partners have signed up for Arm Flexible Access in its first year
New Arm customers make up more than half of these first-year partners
Silicon design opportunities expanded and accelerated in areas such as IoT, ML and automotive, with 15% of program partners already moving towards tape out

According to Gartner, by 2025, 40% of application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) will be designed by OEMs, up from around 30% today. Last summer, Arm Flexible Access was launched to provide both new and existing partners with access to more than 75% of Arm’s IP portfolio, support, tools and training, but with no up-front licensing commitment. From OEMs to startups, we’re seeing some great early success stories with more than 60 partners signing up to Arm Flexible Access in its first year.

Read more about the program’s success from Dipti Vachani, senior vice president and general manager, Automotive and IoT Line of Business, over on Arm’s newsroom.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
