	Profitable SoC Design: Using Logic NVM to Reduce SOC Costs   Pearl Cheng VP Engineering Kilopass Technology Inc. Current trends in the semiconductor industry emphasize the inherent business and engineering risks associated with the development and production of a new chip. With very low incremental costs for implementing personalization design elements into system architectures, designers and technology leaders are now realizing tremendous value. Methods are discussed here that illustrate the opportunities for reducing costs and maximizing economic value with new trends in system architectures. These system architecture trends are enabled by the availability of high density Logic NVM memory solutions. more >> Check our portfolio of silicon proven data converter IP for your SoCs more >>		Find out about our diverse IP portfolio, SerDes solutions and more >> ESD protection cells for DisplayPort - 40nm TSMC from Sarnoff Europe ESD protection cells for Gigabit Ethernet applications - 40nm TSMC from Sarnoff Europe Verification IP for PCI Express 1.1/2.0/3.0 from Denali Software An end-to-end solution for PCIe-based flash memory systems from Denali Software AHB-PCI Express Bridge IP Core from PLDA AXI-PCI Express Bridge - Gen I and Gen II Compatible from PLDA MIPI SLIMbus - Serial Low-power Interchip Media Bus Device... from Arasan Chip Systems MIPI CSI - Camera Serial Interface Receiver Controller from Arasan Chip Systems CEVA MM2000 - Production-Proven, Programmable Multimedia Solution High Voltage & ultra Low Leakage Standard cell library from Dolphin Integration ultra Low power Consumption standard cell library 65 nm from Dolphin Integration WLAN MIMO PHY IP core from SeaSolve Software WLAN MIMO MAC IP core from SeaSolve Software 2-4GHz High-Performance Fractional-N Digital Phase-Locked... from Cambridge Analog Technologies Dual I/Q 8-Bit 1-GSPS Pipeline Analog to Digital Converter from Cambridge Analog Technologies Fully programmable multimedia platform targeting high-end... from CEVA Camera Interface supporting up to 12.6 Megapixel with internal... from Silicon Image XPM / OTP - 1K-bit to 128K-bits NVM IP / OTP on TSMC 65 nm G+ from Kilopass Technology		Designs By Node Q2 2008   Leading edge node design starts are now getting more traction according to this recent study; however, the majority of designs are still focused on legacy nodes with the bulk centered around 90nm.
