A Brief History of Semiconductor IP
It is important to note that the System On Chip (SoC) revolution that is currently driving mobile electronics has one very important enabling technology and that is Semiconductor Intellectual Property. Where would we be without the $6B+ commercial semiconductor IP market segment? Computers and phones would still be on our desks for one thing. Semiconductor IP; soft cores, hard cores, physical IP, interface IP, etc... not only reduce the cost and time to market of SoCs, it also dramatically raises the innovation bar.
One of the most interesting and enabling things about the semiconductor IP market segment is the business model that has evolved so I’m going to focus on that. Correct me if I’m wrong here but this is how I remember it.
