New York, April 04, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Semiconductor Intellectual Property Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By IP Source, By Design IP, By Vertical, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2021 - 2027" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06249527/?utm_source=GNW
IP cores can be licensed or owned and used by a single party, including a company or an individual. The word is derived from the patent or source code copyright license that occurs in the design. In addition, IP cores can be used as building blocks by developers of application-specific integrated circuits (ASIC) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) logic systems.

IP cores are frequently available as synthesizable RTL in hardware description languages like Verilog or VHDL. In the sector of computer programming, these are comparable to low-level languages such as C. Along with that, IP cores provided to chip designers as RTL, allowing them to make functional changes to their designs, while many IP vendors do not provide warranty or support for updated designs. IP cores are also available as general gate-level netlists on occasion.

The netlist is a representation of the logical function of the IP as process-specific standard cells or generic gates in boolean algebra. Any process technology can compile an IP core deployed as generic gates. In the area of computer programming, a gate-level netlist is similar to an assembly code listing. A netlist provides reasonable protection from reverse engineering for the IP core vendor.

System functionality is being incorporated into single chips in modern’s era of IC designs, referred to as System on Chip designs, also called SOC design. These pre-designed IP cores, or blocks, are becoming increasingly significant in SOC designs. This is because most SOC designs use a standard microprocessor and a lot of system functionality that is standardized, and so can be reused across multiple designs if created once.

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the most fatal pandemics of the century that caused a significant rate of mortality across the world. The pandemic majorly demolished all the businesses across the world and caused severe harm to the world economy. In addition, governments were forced to impose lockdowns in their nations, due to which, the world trade, namely imports and exports, was significantly disrupted. The pandemic also affected the semiconductor intellectual property market. However, COVID-19 has prompted semiconductor businesses to mobilize swiftly and make both short- and long-term changes to their business models in terms of their product offerings’ sales and distribution capacities.

This segment is growing due to the fact that it does not need a significant amount for the second party to purchase a license with a substantial licensing fee.

Design IP Outlook

Based on Design IP, the market is segmented into Processor IP, Interface IP, Memory IP and Others. In 2020, the interface IP segment garnered a substantial revenue share of the semiconductor intellectual property market. The growth of this segment is owing to the increasing significance of a well-designed and tractive interface. Interface IP is one of the most crucial parts of the semiconductor intellectual property. In addition, Interface IP is the primary function of the semiconductor intellectual property as it is the first thing that a user goes through

Vertical Outlook

Based on Vertical, the market is segmented into Consumer Electronics, Telecommunications & Data Center, Commercial, Automotive, Industrial and Others. In 2020, the telecommunication & Data centers segment acquired a substantial revenue share of the semiconductor intellectual property market. The utilization of the semiconductor intellectual property in this vertical is increasing due to the rapid growth of wireless technology in telecommunication. In addition, in data centers, the demand for semiconductor chips with a new type of data with increased storage is rising, hence, the requirement for the semiconductor IPs is also growing.

Regional Outlook

Based on Regions, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and Latin America, Middle East & Africa.
