Today's digital office market involves managing, moving and storing large amounts of data in compute-intensive applications such as desktop/laptops, servers, multi-function printers, switch/routers and broadband modems. To help establish seamless connectivity and reliable information access for these diverse computing platforms, there is a growing demand for higher performance, more energy efficient SoCs.
As these integrated circuits get more complex, designers are turning to reusable, third-party IP to speed development time, lower overall costs and reduce risk.
