Methodology

This report is based on the analysis of the activity on the D&R web site between February 1, 2006 and May 31, 2006.

D&R takes a snapshot every 4 months of the set of products, the providers, and the new registered users, and reports on any action occurring on its site during this period. Over several years, D&R has built up an accurate picture of both the current status and trends in the IP/SoC market.

The numbers presented in this section are based on the 3 794 new users registered between February 1, 2006 and May 31, 2006.

· Geographic Distribution

The most active region which does not stop growing in terms of participation is the Asian part of the world representing presently 43 % of D&R portal users. America is stable with its 29 % and Europe goes down to 25 %, slightly above half the number of Asian. The dominance of Asia has been an ongoing trend for 7 years.

Oceania Unspecified Africa 1% 3% 2% Europe America 22% 29%

Asia 43% Figure 1 : Geographical Distribution

· Activity per Application Field

The distribution of the users in terms of the application fields is remarkably stable over few years. The majority of portal users come from the Computer systems sector, with communication systems representing the next largest end user market. Components and automotive are the most active applications fields.

Worldwide IP Suppliers

The D&R web portal is dedicated to Intellectual Property integrated into electronic systems.

Which products from which providers are displayed on D&R web site?

D&R website’s goal is to display the key components required for designing a System on Chip (SoC) or electronic subsystem, focusing on the Intellectual Property whether it is proprietary or externally acquired from a third party. The types of products displayed include Silicon IPs, Verification IP, Software IP, as well as Design Platform, Prototyping Platforms, and EDA tools especially those aimed at IP based chip design.

This report focuses, in priority, on the Silicon IP sector.

The providers whose IPs are listed in the D&R catalogs can be segmented into several categories:

· Providers of licensable IP whose core business is the licensing of a set of IP blocks often dedicated to a specific market segment.

· EDA vendors which sell design tool flows (design and/or qualification) and for which an IP (Silicon IP or verification IP) portfolio (the successor to high level libraries) is mandatory to support these design flows.

· Design centers whose core business or mission is to provide design services or turnkey solutions to the market .These services are partially based on certain high value IPs that are licensed “individually” as stand alone blocks. In other words a design center may at a given point decide to license a high value design block, to a broad customer base, thereby triggering a large amount of design activity

· Fabless IP providers who may be interested in licensing a design block, not only for direct or immediate income, but also for building an industry standard around this strategic block, and taking a leadership position for its fabless business as the market grows. In this fabless category, FPGA vendors play a very special role as they offer a near-complete solution, providing devices, design tools, and all levels of libraries including IP portfolios. The FPGA vendors have built strong third-party IP partner programs in order to make their offerings more attractive

· IDM or ASIC vendors which may publicize a technology based design platform by emphasizing their proprietary IP portfolio. D&R decided very early on to report on these offerings, as they make an important contribution to defining ‘de facto’ standards for basic macro block libraries which are provided when launching a SoC design. These companies may also partner with third party IP providers to increase the attractiveness of their design platform to their customers. Thus it is important to cover IP design platforms and technology captive IP portfolios when analyzing the IP provider market.

The diagram below (figure 4) shows the layers of the players promoting IP for Electronic Design. The size of each layer is linked to the business size. In other words the supply base ranges from a (relatively) large number of small players down to a small number of much larger providers.

Figure 4: Players promoting IPs for Electronic Design

The chart below shows that on the D&R website today, 28% of the IPs published are licensable IP products from vendors which fully dedicate their activity to licensable IP sales. Meanwhile, 46% of IPs are from high level design centers using the IP based design paradigm as a differentiator with respect to competitors.

The Fabless chip vendors, emphasizing their IP portfolio, are the next largest category of providers, closely followed by EDA vendors.

Finally, the group of ASIC, ASSP, IDMs promoting their IP based approach as a sales catalyst, grows slowly, but is a trend to watch. As said above, their IPs are technology dependent and are a powerful successor to macro libraries.

Hottest Provider classified according to core business

This section shows some classification of the providers according to the number of views they receive over the last 4 months. These numbers can be high for several reasons:

¨ Tthe interest in the market; ¨ The publishing effort, technique or skill of the providers; ¨ The portfolio size may play a role. In order to identify providers with a focused scope and ‘very hot’ IPs, the size of the portfolio is complemented with a “success ratio” per product; ¨ Specific promotion techniques such a “free download” to trigger the attention of a particular market segment

· Top Licensable IP Providers

Looking at the list of the providers whose core business is the licensing of IPs, we find that the 5 providers at the top of the list illustrate perfectly the diversity of the players in this sector. We find, with a clear lead, a recognized analog library oriented provider namely Chipidea which by the way is also a fabless chip vendor. Next is Cast a small IP provider that is an expert in attracting market attention. Next and very close are 3 providers namely Imagination Technologies which could be considered as the predominant star IP block provider for multimedia and communications IPs followed by the star IP provider ARM and finally Wipro a well known Indian design center having recently acquired New logic

· Chipidea leads through a combination of the first three reasons cited above: the company provides a strong offer in a hot area, namely the analog field. It should be noted especially that this company makes a huge effort when publishing its IPs, publishing for each the technical claims associated with implementation on a specific technology. This, of course, gives them a high visibility · CAST has built its audience by initially selecting a free Download strategy for its 8051 core. This popular core is of high interest to newcomers in the IP business, to academics, and to many product designers who need just such a core. But Cast now provides additional products such as H.264, MPEG-4 and JPEG 2000 multimedia functions plus AES and DES encryption for security- conscious systems, standard interfaces like USB, PCI, I2C, and MAC; peripheral controllers; and other serial communications cores. · Imagination Technology Group has still the strongest attraction per IP. This means that this provider has a small portfolio of highly valued blocks. We will see later on in this report that several of their blocks are the most popular products in the field targeted by this provider

© Design And Reuse S.A. Page8 8 Bulletin 28 July 2006

· ARM, the worldwide leader of IPs has changed its image and visibility profile since its acquisition of Artisan. This means that in addition to promoting the star ARM processors and the associated AMBA bus standard, ARM needs to make the market aware, almost daily, of its latest library offering which completes the full picture of ARM’s range. Thus the access to ARM products on the D&R website is ramping up very quickly, and this will certainly lead to a broad audience, especially in Asia, which always responds fast and first.

Table 2 : Licensable IP Providers

2- Design centers The most successful design centres, which are currently also very well known IP providers, are listed below. The companies at the top of the list represent all three continents. It is gratifying to see a European player, namely sci-worx, take the lead. sci- worx publishes a restricted portfolio of highly valued IPs and receives the highest number of views per IP in this group. Faraday is directly connected to a Taiwanese Foundry and is primarily a vendor of IP libraries. Qualcore has also a broad portfolio and demonstrates high quality publishing efforts especially in the analog area. Wipro has already been mentioned above as an IP provider and exhibits a rather small portfolio with a high degree of interest per IP

3- EDA Vendors providing IP (Silicon IP, Verification IP) portfolio It is not surprising to see the three top EDA vendors worldwide appear at the top of the list. Synopsys has gone aggressively back on the top position far ahead of the competitors due to some new hot IPs (Wireless USB, etc…) as well as a good position in several areas (VIP, interface, etc.) Cadence gets a good exposure due to its on going design service efforts partially based on its vertical kits announcements. Mentor Graphics follows these market leaders though some way behind.

Table 4 : EDA Vendors providing IP (SIP, VIP) core portfolio

4- IP based ASSP/IDM vendors In this category we can see companies strongly emphasizing their technology and their IC design through their IP library. LSI Logic gets still a hot attention despite the disappearance of the Rapid Chip platform. As a reminder LSI Logic has been the pioneer for several years for boasting a broad IP portfolio linked to its design platform while actively supporting third party suppliers. LSI Logic has also ensured high quality publishing by putting in place direct data import from their design data base to the catalog. Conexant stays a surprising active newcomer following its acquisition of Amphion and Paxonet. But the question of whether it will continue to license these cores is still open for the market The attention for the Robert Bosch licensable cores dedicated to the automotive market has increased somewhat while the attention to IDM companies IP offer stays low .Ahead is Hitachi, technology captive IPs publicized for promoting their technology and their fast an reliable design

5- Fabless IC vendors As mentioned above, among the Fabless Providers, the FPGA vendors have to be treated separately as they have distinct differences compared with any other players in the IP field.

5.1- Fabless programmable Chip Vendors The FPGA vendors are strong IP promoters and offer, together with their design flows, very good IP portfolios to their clients. Note that they are very active in establishing third party vendor programs .The number of views including those of their third party alliances is not included in the table below. Actel has taken back its leading position possibly due to the fact that it is working actively on expanding its share of the FPGA market for space and military applications which generates a reasonable portion of the visitors for D&R website Xilinx is reasonably close due to very accurate and comprehensive product publishing. Direct data import process from their design center data to D&R catalogs is in place and a significant result in terms of visibility has been achieved Altera third position is mainly due to a restricted product list publishing but the number of views per product is the highest .To summarize it means that Altera publishes less products but gets the best attention per product Lattice Semiconductor seems to hesitate in terms of publicity they wish to give to their IP offer.

Company Name Portfolio # of View # of Views / Size Portfolio Size Actel Corporation 117 529 4,5 Xilinx, Inc. 180 431 2,4 Altera Corporation 32 148 4,6 Lattice Semiconductor Corp. 34 43 1,3

Table 6: Fabless programmable Chip Vendors

It has been observed on the D&R website that there is huge demand worldwide for centralized information about FPGA IPs. D&R has opened a special “DSP on FPGA” corner on its website which is very popular. Thus D&R will follow actively the FPGA track in the next few years.

5.2-Other Fabless Chip Vendors

This is a category that D&R considers as one of the most promising in terms of impact and dissemination of the IP concept. It comprises large companies which commonly have some patented "jewel block” that they are willing to license to other chip vendors. The best of them typically establish a de facto worldwide standard (such as the SATA blocks of Silicon Image) Silicon Image and Nordic Semiconductor are the most remarkable representatives in this category for the last 4 months A new very active IP provider Chips&Media is a bright newcomer announcing few star IPs getting the leader position in terms of number of views per product while Zoran is an established one.

© Design And Reuse S.A. Page11 11 Bulletin 28 July 2006

Attention is still strong for Shangai Fullhan Microelectronics who gets an impressive number of views per product. Similarly IndigoVision announces quite aggressive IPs with a good attention rate.

Worldwide IP Offers and market attractiveness

1- Silicon IP Offerings

An impressive number of 5345 IPs have been displayed the 4 last months on D&R web portal coming from 392 providers, and these have been classified in a number of major categories. The table below shows the number of suppliers for the most significant categories.

Category Number of Suppliers Physical Library 30 Analog & Mixed Signal 70 Arithmetic & Mathematic Functions 20 Bus Interfaces 109 Digital Signal Processing 70 Peripheral Cores 94 Memory Element 32 Security / Error Corr. Det. / Modulation 95 Video / Image / Audio 62 Processors & Microcontrollers 85 Wireline Communications 78 Wireless Communications 39 Hardware OS/RTOS 3 Inter-Core Communications 2 Test Cores 8 Embedded Configurable Logic 7 Other 12 Platform Level IP 32

Table 8: Number of Suppliers in each product category

The distribution of these 5345 Silicon IPs (see table below) across these application fields shows a heavy skew towards Analog & Mixed Signal. This is primarily due to the granularity of the definition of this field. Most of the providers adopt description styles featuring various instances of parameterized blocks, for instance, on various technologies. This category has therefore to be considered somewhat separately.

Among the other categories, bus interfaces and peripherals processors are still the main target of Silicon IPs followed by wireless .But note that recently security IPs. have exhibit more IP offers than wireless and are close to peripheral cores

2- Other IP offerings

Verification IPs from 46 providers are associated with specific Silicon IPs, for testing them either as standalone blocks, or more often once integrated in a system. This group is therefore limited and comes mainly from the major EDA vendors or highly specialized providers.

The 262 Verification IPs are distributed in key areas namely bus interface, core interconnect, and memory interface. This is understandable as the blocks are related to standards-based IP, and they facilitate formal or assertion based verification.

Software IPs from 88 providers increasingly play a key role in the IP arena and the D&R web portal is consequently giving more attention to this category of IPs. The 359 Software IPs are primarily application-oriented software blocks, followed by communication stacks. Other categories, such as operating systems and device drivers, are not yet very active

3- IP based Design Platforms offerings

As said earlier D&R pays special attention to IP based platforms for which the concept of IP is of high importance

D&R has listed 88 well known Design platforms. The most popular category addresses Technology Centric platforms. The providers are chip vendors and their technology / process are leveraged by their IP portfolio. Again the FPGA vendors play a very special role as they have been active very early to provide design platforms to support their broad customer base.

The Core Centric platforms should be merged with the Interconnect Centric platforms. Such platforms were initially related to established cores, they progressively shifted to bus centric platforms such as the AMBA platforms and additionally deal with some bus standard proposals such as OCPIP platforms.

Finally the EDA centric platforms are EDA design tool flow platforms. Recently some interconnect or “integration standard” centric platforms have emerged, following the latest standards initiative, Spirit, which is rapidly gaining ground.

2- Processors & Microcontrollers

For months and months, the hottest product and hottest provider is the C8051 core from CAST, which still benefits from a free download program of an encrypted model. The next hot product is the Leon2 SPARC processor initially developed by Gaisler Research for the European Space Agency.

A newcomer Cortus brings some novel solutions namely the APS3 core with aggressive claims in terms of gate count. Note that the APS3 core of Cast listed later in the list is the same core which finally gains 169 views.

Cambridge Solutions stays attractive and the ARM based core from Handshake Consultant brings an Arm based solution for real time chips
