ARM POPs Another One!
February 12, 2016
ARM announced a new POP deal with UMC 28nm last week. POP stands for Processor Optimized Package meaning physical IP libraries (logic and memory) are customized for ARM processor cores and mainstream EDA tools creating a platform for optimized chip design. POP is a much bigger deal than most people realize so let’s get into a little more detail.
Having spent a significant amount of my 30+ year career in Semiconductor IP I may have a different view than most people. While EDA got the fabless semiconductor ecosystem and my illustrious career started, it was commercial semiconductor IP that got us to where we are today, absolutely.
