26-668: The first release in the series is named the Motorola One, however it did carry the alternative name of P30 Play in areas of Asia. It was released in October 2018 with Android Oreo. It came to the market at a price of 180 Euros, making it a low-end phone. The second release in this series is named the Motorola One Power, also called the P30 Note in China. It was released in October 2018 and boasted

52-489: A digital signal processor (DSP) is developed from soft cores of RTL format, and it can be targeted to various technologies or different foundries to yield different implementations. The process of IP hardening is from soft core to generate re-usable hard (hardware) cores . A main advantage of such hard IP is its predictable characteristics as the IP has been pre-implemented, while it offers flexibility of soft cores. It might come with

78-655: A semiconductor intellectual property core ( SIP core ), IP core or IP block is a reusable unit of logic, cell, or integrated circuit layout design that is the intellectual property of one party. IP cores can be licensed to another party or owned and used by a single party. The term comes from the licensing of the patent or source code copyright that exists in the design. Designers of system on chip (SoC), application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) and systems of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) logic can use IP cores as building blocks. The licensing and use of IP cores in chip design came into common practice in

104-516: A 5000 mAh battery. It came to the market at a price of 250 Euros, making it a mid-range phone. The third release in this series is named the Motorola One Vision. It was released on June 20, 2019 and boasted a 21:9 screen and a 48 MP main sensor, as well as Android Pie. It came to the market at a price of 300 Euros, making it a mid-range phone. This was Motorola's first phone to feature Samsung Exynos processors. The fourth release in this series

130-428: A discrete integrated circuit component for printed circuit board design. Each is a reusable component of design logic with a defined interface and behavior that has been verified by its creator and is integrated into a larger design. IP cores are commonly offered as synthesizable RTL in a hardware description language such as Verilog or VHDL . These are analogous to low-level languages such as C in

156-527: A lower-level physical description that is specific to a particular process technology. Hard cores usually offer better predictability of chip timing performance and area for their particular technology. Analog and mixed-signal logic are generally distributed as hard cores. Hence, analog IP ( SerDes , PLLs , DAC , ADC , PHYs , etc.) are provided to chip makers in transistor-layout format (such as GDSII ). Digital IP cores are sometimes offered in layout format as well. Low-level transistor layouts must obey

208-529: A set of models for simulations for verification. The effort to harden soft IP requires employing the quality of the target technology, goals of design and the methodology. The hard IP has been proven in the target technology and application. E.g. the hard core in GDS II format is said to clean in DRC ( design rule checking ), and LVS (see Layout versus schematic ). I.e. that can pass all the rules required for manufacturing by

234-701: Is also used in a number of Qualcomm , Samsung , and MediaTek SoCs . Semi-custom derivatives of the Cortex-A53 have been used in Qualcomm's Kryo 250 and Kryo 260 CPUs. The Starlink ground terminals utilize a quad-core Cortex-A53 SoC from STMicroelectronics as a main control unit. The processor is used in the ODROID -C2 and in Roku streaming media players (in the high-end models from 2016 and in all models released between 2017 and 2019). Another notable Cortex-A53 application

260-521: Is analogous to an assembly code listing in the field of computer programming. A netlist gives the IP core vendor reasonable protection against reverse engineering. See also Integrated circuit layout design protection . Both netlist and synthesizable cores are called soft cores since both allow a synthesis , placement and routing ( SPR ) design flow. Hard cores (or hard macros) are analog or digital IP cores whose function cannot be significantly modified by chip designers. These are generally defined as

286-675: Is currently featured in most entry-level and lower mid-range SoCs, while higher-end SoCs used the newer ARM Cortex-A55 . The latest SoC still using the Cortex-A53 is the MediaTek Helio G50 , which is an entry-level SoC designed for budget smartphones. The ARM Cortex-A53 processor has been used in the LeMaker HiKey since 2015, the Raspberry Pi 3 since February 2016, and the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W since October 2021. The Cortex-A53

Semiconductor intellectual property core In electronic design ,

390-863: The 8051 and PIC , to 32-bit and 64-bit processors such as the ARM architectures or RISC-V architectures . Such processors form the "brains" of many embedded systems . They are usually RISC instruction sets rather than CISC instruction sets like x86 because less logic is required. Therefore, designs are smaller. Further, x86 leaders Intel and AMD heavily protect their processor designs' intellectual property and don't use this business model for their x86-64 lines of microprocessors . IP cores are also licensed for various peripheral controllers such as for PCI Express , SDRAM , Ethernet , LCD display , AC'97 audio, and USB . Many of those interfaces require both digital logic and analog IP cores to drive and receive high speed, high voltage, or high impedance signals outside of

416-440: The star IP , include ARM Holdings and Synopsys . Gartner Group estimated the total value of sales related to silicon intellectual property at US $ 1.5 billion in 2005 with annual growth expected around 30%. IP hardening is a process to re-use proven designs and generate fast time-to-market, low-risk-in-fabrication solutions to provide intellectual property (IP) (or silicon intellectual property) of design cores. For example,

442-424: The 1990s. There were many licensors and also many foundries competing on the market. In 2013, the most widely licensed IP cores were from Arm Holdings (43.2% market share), Synopsys Inc. (13.9% market share), Imagination Technologies (9% market share) and Cadence Design Systems (5.1% market share). The use of an IP core in chip design is comparable to the use of a library for computer programming or

494-476: The chip. "Hardwired" (as opposed to software programmable soft microprocessors described above) digital logic IP cores are also licensed for fixed functions such as MP3 audio decode, 3D GPU , digital video encode/decode, and other DSP functions such as FFT , DCT , or Viterbi coding. IP core developers and licensors range in size from individuals to multi-billion-dollar corporations. Developers, as well as their chip-making customers, are located throughout

520-473: The customers are semiconductor companies or module developers with in-house semiconductor development. A company wishing to fabricate a complex device may license in the rights to use another company's well-tested functional blocks such as a microprocessor , instead of developing their own design, which would require additional time and cost. The silicon IP industry has had stable growth for many years. The most successful silicon IP companies, often referred to as

546-549: The field of computer programming. IP cores delivered to chip designers as RTL permit chip designers to modify designs at the functional level, though many IP vendors offer no warranty or support for modified designs. IP cores are also sometimes offered as generic gate-level netlists . The netlist is a Boolean-algebra representation of the IP's logical function implemented as generic gates or process -specific standard cells . An IP core implemented as generic gates can be compiled for any process technology. A gate-level netlist

624-489: The target foundry 's process design rules. Therefore, hard cores delivered for one foundry's process cannot be easily ported to a different process or foundry. Merchant foundry operators (such as IBM , Fujitsu , Samsung , TI , etc.) offer various hard-macro IP functions built for their own foundry processes, helping to ensure customer lock-in . Many of the best known IP cores are soft microprocessor designs. Their instruction sets vary from small 8-bit processors, such as

650-429: The world. Silicon intellectual property ( SIP , silicon IP ) is a business model for a semiconductor company where it licenses its technology to a customer as intellectual property . A company with such a business model is a fabless semiconductor company , which doesn't provide physical chips to its customers but merely facilitates the customer's development of chips by offering certain functional blocks. Typically,
