Simon Rance at Keysight Technologies talks about the challenges associated with IP management for chiplet projects and how design teams can improve IP security and compliance.
Keysight IP Management (HUB) integrates with IP design tools from all major electronic design automation (EDA) vendors for seamless collaboration. For semiconductor IP designers and project managers using data management tools, Keysight HUB includes connectors for smooth integration.
Chiplets are making big waves in the semiconductor industry, with global market size expected to grow 71.3% from 2023 to 2031.
With integration of multiple technologies, semiconductor design teams are reinvigorating Moore’s Law, by paving the way for designs featuring multi-billion transistors and hundreds of semiconductor intellectual properties (IPs).
However, powerful chiplet-based architectures have also introduced a new level of complexity in managing intellectual properties (IPs), from stringent export controls to compliances and IP security risks.
