IP Requirement • Competitive in functionality, size, power, or performance • Well Characterized (Silicon verified) • Integratable (Documents, executable models, confirmed to standards) • Test Strategy implementable by the SOC • Unambiguous boundary of responsibility
IP Enabler • Channels for small IP creators • One-stop shopping window for IC creators • Combining design service and IP vending

誰來當星探? • Extremely low-power DSP, uP, uC • Media-processing cores (A/V, JPEG, MPEG…) • Up-and-coming mainstream interface cores (USB2.0, 1394, Networking…) • Very high density memory macros
Conclusions • More and more designs will utilize IP • More and more IP will come from outside • Successful IP must be robustly reusable • IP outlet through design foundry enables • IP creators to focus on algorithmic/architectural novelty • IC creators to focus on marketing/specification/service
