Robert Barnes, Channel Marketing, ARM

This TecForum focuses on using chip-estimation software to quickly assess which IP libraries and combinations best address the requirements of designers of mobile applications. The TecForum will review what criteria are most critical, and use Chip Estimate's InCyte chip-estimation system to explore different libraries to see which deliver the best results. Die size, active power, static leakage power, yield, and packaged die cost will be assessed in real time on ARM IP. Attendees of the TecForum will see how different IP behaves in a chip context and also see how to use software to quickly perform tradeoff and what-if analysis. Attendees will be offered free access to a chip estimation system so they will be able to perform similar analysis after the TecForum.
