When I was at DAC last month, I had the chance to talk with Chouki Aktouf and Bastien Gratréaux from Defacto and they told me about a new innovative solution to generate Arm-based System-on-Chips. I heard that this solution has now been released.
Defacto and Arm developed a joint SoC design flow to help Arm users cover all needed automation—from… Read More
Defacto continues to confirm its SoC Compiler as becoming the “de facto” SoC integration solution for large SoC designs. This year they are coming to DAC to share customer success stories of building the largest SoCs in the market from specification to RTL + collaterals such as UPF by including thousands of IP cores! All done within… Read More
Nowadays, low power design requirements are key for large SoCs (system on chips) for different applications: AI, Mobile, HPC, etc. Power intent management early in the design flow is becoming crucial to help facing PPA (Power Performance Area) design challenges.

With the increasing complexity of such … Read More
The ESD Alliance collects and reports every quarter the revenue trends for both EDA and Semiconductor IP (SiP), and the biggest component for the past few years has been the SiP, as IP re-use dominates new designs. For Q4 of 2021 the total SiP revenue was $1,314.3 Million, enjoying a 24.8% growth in just one year. Here’s a chart… Read More
Standards help our EDA and IP industry grow more quickly and with less CAD integration efforts, and IP-XACT is another one of those Accellera standards (1685-2009) that is coming of age, and enabling IP reuse for SoC design teams. Here at SemiWik, we’ve been writing about Defacto Technologies and their prominent use of IP-XACT… Read More
Defacto SoC Compiler whose 9.0 release was announced recently automates the SoC design creation from the first project specifications. It covers register handling, IP and connectivity insertion at RTL, UPF and SDC file generation right to logic synthesis. As part of the generation process of RTL and design collaterals, basic… Read More
I read the semiconductor press, LinkedIn and social media (Twitter, Facebook) every morning along with an RSS feed that I setup, staying current on everything related to using EDA tools to make the task of SoC design a bit easier for design teams. A recent press release announced a tool called SoC Compiler, so my curiosity was piqued… Read More
