physical IP

Arm aims to bring protection against physical tampering and side-channel attacks into processor cores designed for IoT nodes, starting with one of its M-series designs.

Mentor Graphics' recent deal with ARM illustrates how proliferation in design is influencing deals between tool and IP vendors.

Fabless designers and IP providers need process simulation tools to understand how process variability could affect their designs.

Physical-IP startup SureCore has been awarded $380,000 to build a demo chip for a low-power SRAM design the company is aiming at finFET and FD-SOI processes.
