Why IP Quality and Governance are Essential in Modern Chip Design

By Kamal Khan

In today’s semiconductor industry, success hinges not only on innovation but also on discipline in managing complexity. Every system-on-chip (SoC) is built from hundreds of reusable IP blocks—standard cells, memories, interfaces, and analog components. These IPs are the foundation of the design. But if the foundation… Read More
