ChipEstimate launches Japanese language
version of its semiconductor IP portal
ChipEstimate.com has launched the Japanese-language version
of its IP and chip planning portal with the url ChipEstimate.jp.
Chip Estimate enables designers to evaluate and explore
third-party IP by providing access to a IPs from over 200
of the world's leading IP suppliers and foundries with an
extensive database of over 8,000 pieces of IP. ChipEstimate
says its online community is spending roughly $337 million
for third-party IP in 2010, Japan represents one of the
largest markets for third-party IP consumption.
"Japan is one of the leading regions for IC design
in the world, and designers are increasingly turning to
IP as a key weapon in their battle against growing IC design
complexity," said Adam Traidman, general manager of
ChipEstimate.com, "Until now, however, Japanese designers
really haven't had access to native language tools that
enable them to evaluate a broad range of third-party IP,
and conduct sophisticated chip planning and estimation using
that IP. By filling this void, ChipEstimate.jp has the potential
to open the market for more extensive IP reuse throughout
the region, while also giving Japanese IP suppliers a new
outlet for marketing their solutions."
