  2. Overview • Mixed-signal capabilities (PLL/ADC/DAC) are needed in all applications • Majority of analog “IP” is “foundation IP” . • Most “foundation” digital library providers have an analog offering: • Nurlogic has a comprehensive analog offering • Virtual Silicon has PLL compiler • Leda systems has a full complement of analog IP (minimal digital). • In contrast to digital library providers, most do NOT utilize “free library” model (eSilicon will have to buy library) 2eSilicon Confidential

  3. Nurlogic • 38 employees (80% engineering) • Mixed Signal SOC IP Provider • Memory Compilers • Standard Cells • I/O (analog, pad limited, core limited • Custom logic • Analog IP • High Performance PLLs • Digital to Analog Convertors (D/As) • Analog to Digital Convertors (A/Ds) • Opamps, Bandgaps and more • Targets TSMC, UMC, IBM 3eSilicon Confidential

  4. LEDA • 32 employees • Primarily focused on analog IP/libraries • Product offering includes • Analog IP: D/A, A/D, switches, PLLs, opamps • Special I/Os • RF IP: Bluetooth RF Cores • Digital Cores & I/Os • Targets TSMC, UMC, Chartered, Note: Meeting on 9/21 resulted in LEDA committing to provide their Libraries for IC Advisor 4eSilicon Confidential
