The research shows the semiconductor IP segment growing at a rate of 25 percent in 2001 compared to a 31 percent decline in growth in the semiconductor market. "Notable sectors achieving more than 40 percent growth were networking, memory, chip infrastructure and peripherals," said Jim Tully, chief analyst, Gartner. IP revenue growth by block type shows Memory with a growth rate of nearly 65 percent. Of the applications surveyed, the communications market led with revenues of $449 million. This parallels Virage Logic's own market breakout, with over 60 percent of the company's revenue coming from communications applications. "We are very pleased to be the fastest growing North American semiconductor IP company among the top 10. We have an exceptional business model that enables us to grow revenues from both the initial IP licenses as well as ongoing IP royalties. As memory continues to be integrated onto SoC designs, taking up as much as 60 percent of the chip, our growth has reflected the trend away from standalone memory," said Adam Kablanian, CEO at Virage Logic.
