Data for this report was aggregated from the over 175 IP partners of ChipEstimate.com over the last 6 months.   ANAGRAM delivers innovative digital audio subsystems for system-on-chip (SoC) devices for portable, automotive, and consumer markets by combining world-class system level design, industry-leading digital audio IP blocks, and electronic system level (ESL) modeling tools. more>>   Secure, One-Time Programmable Memory for DCP Encryption Key Storage Applications, by Wlodek Kurjanowicz Sidense High-definition digital content is driving advanced security requirements for SoCs. Millions of people will buy products with Digital Content Protection (DCP) to view, listen and communicate, thus creating a huge need to protect consumer data and intellectual property (IP) from theft. Non-volatile storage of encryption keys is an ideal way to securely implement DCP in a variety of electronic devices. However, not all non-volatile memory (NVM) technologies are suited for these applications... more>>
