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

		Perforce recently hosted a webinar on “IP Lifecycle Management for Chiplet-Based SoCs”, presented by Simon Butler, the GM for the Methodics IPLM BU. The central theme was trust, for IPs as much as chiplets. How can an IP/chiplet consumer trust that what they receive has not been compromised somewhere in the value chain from initial… Read More
