If you’re a system on chip (SoC) designer, you need the latest, most up to date information about semiconductor design IP and verification IP (VIP). And the best place to find that is at IP Talks!, a series of ongoing presentations at the ChipEstimate.com booth (#2433) at the Design Automation Conference 2015 (DAC 2015), taking place June 8-11 in San Francisco, California.

Now going into its 9^th year, IP Talks! includes over 30 half-hour presentations from the world’s leading IP providers and foundries. The talks run continuously from 10:15 am to 5:30 pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday June 8-10. Held in an informal setting, the talks address the challenges faced by SoC design teams and show how the latest developments in semiconductor IP can contribute to design success.

This year’s IP Talks! keynote presentation will be given at 10:15 am Monday by veteran EDA investor and long-time semiconductor executive Jim Hogan. The title of his speech is “The looming quality, reliability, and safety crisis in automotive electronics. Why is it and what we can do to avoid it?” The speech will discuss the rising use of automotive electronics and the concerns surrounding function, performance, power, quality, and safety design and verification.

As shown in the schedule below, panel sessions will be held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 3:00 pm. The Monday and Wednesday panels will feature speakers from ARM, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, and Samsung. The topic is “Advancing the Common Ecosystem on 14LPP.” The Tuesday panel, organized by ARM, is titled “How to Address the Challenges of IP Configuration, SoC Integration and Performance Verification.” Speakers are from ARM, Cadence, and Samsung.

You can learn more about Cadence design IP at 4:30 pm Monday, 4:30 pm Tuesday, or 2:00 pm Wednesday, and about Cadence verification IP (VIP) at 11:30 am Monday. Other presenters include ARM, eSilicon, Kilopass, Sidense, SilabTech, Sonics, Synopsys, True Circuits, and TSMC.
