The bulk of designs fall under 4 megabits with just a handful extending beyond. Statistics gathered from the ChipEstimate.com user community.   To learn how Chipidea, the world’s number one provider of analog and mixed-signal IP, is accelerating the growing trend away from discreet analog solutions and toward greater subsystems integration, check out EE Times or visit http://www.chipidea.com   Things to know... about security in silicon By Dr. Bill Anderson, SafeNet, Inc. Support for cryptographic security has become a basic requirement for many networking and mobile silicon devices. The complex nature of cryptographic security processing often creates a challenge for semiconductor designers to achieve the levels of protection and throughput required by today’s systems and applications. Uncover the essential elements of implementing security functionality on dedicated hardware, and how it enables designers to achieve higher throughput performance, lower power consumption, and a higher degree of security over software-based implementations running on a general-purpose processor. more>>
