$1 Billion IP & VIP sales by 2017?
We are not talking about ARM Ltd., as the IP vendor has already passed the $1B sales in 2013. In fact, we are not talking about a single IP vendor; this $1B mark will be passed by two IP market segments: Interface and Verification IP. In fact these two segments are very close together. When an IP is developed to support a specific Interface protocol standard, a related Verification IP (VIP) is needed at the same time. This VIP is firstly used by be design team in charge of the related IP development, to verify the IP compliance in respect with the specific protocol. And, by the way, we understand why the VIP has to be designed by a different team, not necessarily from a different company, but the architects should be two different persons. This strategy is the only way to avoid the equivalent of the “common mode error” in aeronautics.
