Get 100% IP reuse and reduce new rotations

In today's market, acceleration requires IP reuse. But without a centralized system to manage IP, hardware teams keep looking for or recreating projects, and software engineers end up tracking versions in a spreadsheet. These manual processes waste time and increase the risk of unnecessary errors and new rotations.

Methodics IPLM provides a scalable IP lifecycle management platform that tracks IP and its metadata across projects, providing end-to-end traceability and enabling effortless IP reuse. Learn more by connecting with an IP expert today.

IP-centric resources that semiconductor teams need

Traceable IP ecosystem

Methodics IPLM includes an integrated IP catalog with powerful permission and filtering capabilities. This ensures that all members of the design team can find the IP (and only the IP) available to them.

Every aspect of the IP lifecycle is tracked and visible in Methodics IPLM in easy-to-understand configurable dashboards. Designers can see the projects in which IP was used, any pending bugs, derived designs, regression status, and more.

Simple workspace deployment

Workspaces are critical to SoC integration. It's the point where the IP and the rest of the design come together. Methodics IPLM includes comprehensive configuration and workspace management. This ensures that designers have access to the data they need and that administrators can track ip usage and development across the enterprise.

Comprehensive controls allow administrators to determine the project files, IP, tool configurations, machine resource allocation, and other infrastructure components available to team members.

Turn on global notifications

Effective notifications speed up communication, improve overall quality, and can save a significant amount of wasted effort on a project.

The powerful notification infrastructure in Methodics IPLM allows users around the world to be notified automatically when significant events occur. For example, you may be notified of IP releases, bugs, approvals.

In addition, administrators can define additional customer-specific notification criteria to perfectly suit existing design processes.

Customizable dashboards

Data is critical to making informed decisions about the project. Methodics IPLM integrates a powerful data analytics platform based on an extensible widget-based design. The default panel settings are provided for common design tasks such as IP qualification, IP release status, and IP usage information.

Methodics IPLM also includes a first-class RESTful API for custom dashboard development, including company-specific reporting, industry compliance, or integration of existing enterprise systems.

Release workflow automation

Automating release workflows eliminates the risks associated with manually releasing a project. It ensures that IP blocks are released in the correct order, based on design dependencies.

Methodics IPLM controls dependencies throughout the pre-release and post-release process, managing hierarchical release mechanisms. After an IP is released, it can be added to the catalog and made available to other teams.

Iron Safety

A final SoC includes a patchwork of IPs with multiple sources, quality levels, and sometimes misunderstood attack surfaces. Methodics IPLM offers an IP security assurance solution to mitigate risks.

Because Methodics IPLM provides end-to-end traceability, it makes it easy to manage hundreds of IPs and understand the attack surface of each IP. In addition, Methodics IPLM enables IP geofencing, allowing and restricting location-based access permissions. This can minimize IP leakage, potentially saving millions of dollars while putting your organization compliant.
