Open Alliance Programs Give Rise to Comprehensive Design Technology Infrastructures
The semiconductor IP market is witnessing significant changes with a growing number of strategic alliance programs. For instance, Omni Design Technologies-a provider of high-performance, low-power mixed-signal IP solutions, has joined the TSMC’s (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) Open Innovation Alliance program, which involves the participation of leading IP companies. As such, manufacturers are innovating in silicon-verified and foundry-specific IP solutions. Increasing demand for ultra-low power ADC and DAC solutions has catalyzed the demand for semiconductor IPs.
The semiconductor IP market is expected to reach a revenue of US$ 8.3 Bn by 2030. However, challenges in the 5G, automotive, and IoT segments are likely to inhibit the market growth. Hence, companies should introduce alliance programs to give rise to more comprehensive design technology infrastructures that help to reduce design barriers.
MCU Subsystem Platforms Help Overcome Limitations in Edge Computing IoT Applications
Companies in the semiconductor IP market are increasing efforts to address the challenges of data processing for edge computing IoT applications. For instance, in June 2024, Dolphin Design-a provider of semiconductor IP and design platforms unveiled CHAMELEON, an event-based MCU (Microcontroller Unit) subsystem platform, which helps to unlock the limitations associated with edge computing IoT applications. This is due to several limitations of traditional MCU architectures. Thus, in order to keep pace with the rapid growth of edge computing, semiconductor IP companies are innovating in MCU subsystem platforms.
In addition, manufacturers are adopting the CPU-less and event-based data management system approach to overcome limitations in edge computing IoT applications. Companies in the semiconductor IP market are developing MCU subsystem platforms that are compatible with any CPU, DSP (Digital Signal Processor), and NPU (Neural Processing Unit).
Collaborations Lead to Improvement in Quality and Reliability of Microchips
Semiconductor analog IP providers are collaborating with other market players to improve the quality and reliability of microchips. Companies in the semiconductor IP market are teaming up with providers of custom ASIC (Application-specific Integrated Circuit) designs to fabricate and test analog IP products. This helps manufacturers to validate their product delivery processes for end customers. System on a chip (SOC) development holds promising potentials to speed up the process of proving and qualifying analog IPs, which helps to reduce the time-to-market.
The integration of analog IP onto complex silicon chips is a potentially time-consuming process and may be further exacerbated by the variable quality of analog IP products. Hence, companies in the semiconductor IP market are developing in-house systems that automatically generate analog IP product deliverables, while maintaining the highest quality in products.
Analysts’ Viewpoint
Long-term trends such as digitalization across industries, such as healthcare, automotive, and telecom are anticipated to keep companies in business during and post the COVID-19 pandemic. Fast-growing IP vendors in the semiconductor IP market are providing high-quality products that are being used in complex SoC designs. However, limitations in traditional MCU subsystems are restraining manufacturers from advancing in edge computing IoT applications. Hence, companies should develop advanced MCU subsystems with high bandwidth access and data processing capabilities to innovate in the fast-growing edge computing IoT sector. They should introduce alliance programs to increase the availability of foundry-specific IPs.

The platform allows designers to reuse pre-qualified IP-based, foundational SoC, which helps in reducing time to market. SoCs allow cost efficient manufacturing of devices due to which, the demand for SoCs is increasing rapidly. SoC IP cores provide base platforms to be optimized differently according to required designs. Some of the recent developments in system-on-chip (SoC) by prominent players are as follows:
- In June 2024, Qualcomm Incorporated launched its new product “Snapdragon 690 System-on-chip,” to support its Snapdragon 6-series processors. The Snapdragon 690 is specifically designed for 5G connectivity and supports both standalone (SA) and non-standalone (NSA) modes.
- In February 2019, Intel Corporation declared that “Telefonaktiebolaget LM Ericsson” is focusing on deploying its 10nm system-on-chip (SoC) product, specifically for 5G and edge computing
Proprietary IP blocks can be security practices, wireless designs, alternatives on USB modules, and re-spins on memory controllers. These are used in consumer electronics prominently where primary components are SoC designs and can be availed by procuring a license. Thus, increasing need for SoC designs in consumer electronics is expected to drive the semiconductor IP market during the forecast period.
- Increasing Adoption of Multi-core Technologies in Connecting Devices: Multicore technologies enable integration of more than one processor embedded in a single physical package. An increase in the use of multicore processors such as quad cores and octa cores in desktops, mobile PCs, smartphones, and servers are being witnessed, besides a shift toward the use of heterogeneous multicore system-on-chips (SoCs), which features a range of processor cores with various architectures and instruction-sets. These are optimized for various applications or application-specific instruction-set processors (ASIPs) for connecting devices. For instance, the radio base-band in smartphones is based on ASICs. The focus has shifted to embedded multicore processors in mobile, automotive, and communication markets to perform intensive computations. For instance, Recore Systems’ multi-core processor subsystem IP has been licensed to develop Europe’s multi-core DSP payload processor for future space missions.
Moreover, processor IP core reduces power consumption and optimizes hardware performance. Hardware performance increases as the space captured by a single processor is reduced due to use of multicore processors. In line with the same, Synopsys Inc. is in partnership with Broadcom to deliver ARC processor IP Cores which enable them to provide advanced video compression capabilities in SoCs for high-volume consumer devices. Thus, multicore processor IPs are being adopted rapidly to improve the efficiency of hardware and to optimize performance of end-products. Hence, various processor IP cores are needed to develop embedded multiprocessor core technologies, which are used in a wide range of applications such as connected devices that include smartphones, wearable devices, and desktops.
