What to Consider When WEBINAR: Architecting Your Next SoC: Architectural Tradeoffs, IP Selection, and Ecosystem Realities

Architecting an SoC is a complicated step in building a successful chip. The first step is ensuring you have the critical requirements for your SoC captured so that the possible architectural options may be explored and the IP components that enable those architectures can be identified.

Selecting the right IP can make or break your SoC project. With tight schedules, evolving PPA targets, and increasing system complexity, today’s design teams need more than datasheets to make informed choices.

This webinar—presented by experts from Aion Silicon and Andes Technology and hosted by SemiWiki—will explore the critical architectural considerations and tradeoffs that affect success from the earliest phases of SoC development.

Whether you’re designing for AI, automotive, or high-performance edge compute, this session will provide practical guidance to help you to explore architectural options and select IP that balances risk, flexibility, and time to market. We’ll examine the real-world criteria that matter: Application performance modelling, IP analysis and selection, modelling/simulation/emulation, first time functionality, PPA (Power-Performance-Area) goals, schedule and budget.

You’ll gain insight into how architecture modeling, simulation,and emulation can help validate performance goals and derisk “works-first-time” silicon. We’ll also discuss why ecosystem support, software toolchains, customization options, and foundry alignment should factor into your IP decision-making process. In addition, we’ll demystify performance, power, and area (PPA) metrics—how they’re derived, how to interpret them, and what to watch for when comparing IP blocks.

Join us to hear directly from leading voices in SoC architecture and IP design—and bring your questions.
