Chip Design

One way to help alleviate the effects of the talent shortage is changing how semiconductors are designed so that organizations can achieve more with their existing workforce. This requires moving away from project-centric design and transitioning to an IP-centric design methodology.

Over the past few years, teams have moved from building relatively self-contained, isolated designs to creating complex platforms across dispersed and integrated design centers. Larger design footprints, a more comprehensive array of products and quicker time to market are other contributing factors to walking away from a project-based design methodology.
