…but what is the weight of the VIP market?
If the IP market is a niche market (see: **) with revenue of about 1% of the overall semiconductor business, how could we qualify the VIP market? Ultra-niche market? But the verification of the IP integrated into the SoC is an essential piece of the engineering puzzle when you are involved in SoC design. Let me clarify what type of verification I want to discuss: the verification of a protocol based function, which can be an Interface protocol (USB, PCIe, SATA, MIPI and more), a specific memory Interface (DDR, DDR2,…, GDDR,…, Flash ONFI and more) or a Bus protocol (AMBA AXI,…, OCP and more).
