Global Semiconductor Intellectual Property Market Analysis, Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, Threats, Trends, Applications, and Growth Forecast to 2028

The Semiconductor Intellectual Property Market report has been segmented on the basis of design IP, IP source, vertical, and region.

Semiconductor Intellectual Property Market: Overview

“The Semiconductor Intellectual Property Market size is expected to be worth around US$ xx Billion by 2021 from US$ X.xx million in 2031, growing at a CAGR of X.x% during the forecast period 2021 to 2031.”

Semiconductor intellectual property core is a reusable unit of logic, cell, or integrated circuit layout design. The term is derived from licensing of patent and/or source code copyright that exists in the design.

IP cores can be used as building blocks within application-specific integrated circuit designs or field-programmable gate array logic designs. Intellectual property core can be divided into two types namely softcore and hardcore.

Softcore can be changed in terms of design, whereas, hardcore cannot be changed while moving from one process to another process.

Softcore is commonly crafted as synthesizable cores and is also provided with VHDL or Verilog. Generally, it is used for low-level designs such as analog logic, mixed-signal, etc.
