ALGODONE fits an industrial need for IP block vendors

Algodone fits an industrial need for IP block vendors. Until now, those industrials had no monitoring neither counting solution for their virtual models once delivered to their customers.

Context
Microelectronic integrated circuits combine more and more predefined blocks that are provided by specialist suppliers. These blocks (called ” IP semiconductor design ” or ” IP blocks “) are provided as reusable and virtual circuit description files which are incorporated into the final design of a microelectronic product. The latter are essentially built-up with such IP blocks (60 to 70% currently) which come from about fifty providers worldwide. These companies are therefore subject to counterfeits and strong difficulty to upgrade and monetize their models.

Benefits
The Algodone solution fills a gap in the business model of Hardware vendors by provide a maximum flexibility to control the legitimate use of all their know-how. It allows a very fine control of the diffusion of hardware models and circuits. In particular, a fully controlled royalty based business model is now possible.
