Editorial Reviews

Review

The goal of the VSI Alliance has always been to make SIP integration and re-use easier and more cost effective to the maximum number of people. With almost every chip being designed today relying on re-use, you would expect the subject to be well known and understood. But that is not the case. This book provides a much needed introduction to the subject for both IP suppliers and users and the case studies provide valuable insights to help even experienced designers improve their own re-use strategies. --Susan Cain, Executive Director, VSI Alliance

Corporations can no longer afford to function in isolation. While localized reuse in various forms has long been institutionalized, the current business climate requires using IP from third party vendors and collaborative efforts with industry partners. This business model emphasizes a new set of issues and dependencies. This book illustrates key considerations for collaborative organizations and the initiatives that industry organizations are undertaking to facilitate reuse. --Ralph von Vignau, NXP Senior Director, Infrastructure and Standards; President, The SPIRIT Consortium
