Cosmic Circuits acquisition by Cadence: IP battle with Synopsys has officially started!
If you have missed the announcement that Cosmic Circuits has been acquired by Cadence, dated February 7, you may want to read this PR. In any case, by reading this article you will understand why this acquisition is ringing the start of the âIP battleâ between cadence and Synopsys. Let me remind you that I said in Semiwiki last September (at that time I was qualifying the IP battle as being a chess game in my article):

You may prefer to put it this way: the company unable to provide a PHY (supporting the latest standard release like PCIe Gen-3 or MIPI M-PHY) on the most advanced technology node, will most certainly lose the game, on the long termâ¦â
