Palmchip Stimulates Economic Recovery by Offering Free Semiconductor IP Cores
- Wide range of free Palmchip semiconductor IP cores supports design innovations for mobile devices
- New AcurX-51 Platform with free 8051 core available for implementing IP
“By enabling design starts through the offer of free cores, we hope that new semiconductor projects will develop and that this success will ripple through the supply chain. If this program helps one struggling startup or saves the job of one engineer, then we have succeeded,” said JauherZaidi, Palmchip CEO and president.
“The Palmchip SoCStart program and AcurX platform providing “free” access to IP and a platform is a creative approach to a problem that is plaguing the industry – the dramatic rise in design costs for SoCs at every new process geometry,” said Richard Wawrzyniak, Semico Research senior analyst. “While conducting recent in-depth research on SoC costs, time in development and complexity, we have found that platform development and third-party IP can provide a significant time and cost advantage for many designers while supporting design reuse for derivative designs. This is a tremendous market advantage for companies who commit in a platform approach.”
SoCStart Program Details
Through the SoCStart program, engineers can get access to IP cores in RTL format for a one-time royalty and license free use. The company will provide email support. Customers who are interested in implementing designs through a tested, plug-in-ready SoC platform, please see Palmchip’s AcurXTM series of mobile platforms at www.acurx-soc.comFollowing is a list of the most popular cores available through SoCStart.
