How to improve the relations between IP consumers and IP vendors and favor IP democratization
Innovation leading to successful product differentiation may come from "small" IP vendors... It can be cumbersome to identify them, to get in touch with them and to assess their IP solutions.
Indeed, there are multiple issues that both IP vendors and customers face.
- IP scouting
How can a consumer promptly find the most suitable or “killer” IP that will allow on-time and successful product launch?- How to find and contact small IP providers, locally or on a global basis?
- How to get IP specification and answers to key IP PPA or other questions (process node for hard IPs, maturity, available views, etc.)
- Would a “customer-driven Search” rather than search on an IP portal be more efficient?
- Maturity and compatibility assessment
- The IP customer will want to promptly assess the compatibility of the IP with his existing design environment.
- The IP evaluation process is often too heavy and time-consuming. Would online access to emulation platforms, FPGA views or prototypes ease that process?
- True IP maturity is sometimes difficult to judge, even if based on silicon reports, verification coverage data or bug occurrence stats; can an industry-wide maturity grading system be defined and deployed?
- Can a user feedback mechanism can be established and published to help other users from a user point of view?
- Can support being assured, especially for complicated analog IPs?
- May a PaaS including evaluation, supporting and quality assurance can be probed?
- Business Negotiation too long
- Vendor screening may be assisted by a reliable (D&R) Ecosystem. Are there geography-specific issues to be addressed?
- Would standardization of business models help?
- Is there space in the market for a centralized control and payment system for IP consideration?

PLDA is a developer and licensor of Semiconductor Intellectual Property (SIP) specializing in high-speed interconnect supporting multi-gigabit rates (2.5G, 5G, 8G, 16G, 25G, 32G, 56G, 112G), and protocols such as PCI Express, CCIX, CXL, and Gen-Z.
Having spent his early career in AMS chip design and test, Mr. Lerchenmüller then spent 6 years as Application Engineer and AE manager for complex EDA tools such as IMS test-systems and Quickturn HW accelerators/emulators supporting customers in Central Europe and Scandinavia.
Since 2000 he moved into technical Sales and Sales management roles, initially for Cadence emulation solutions, followed by Celestry, and Verisity morphing into an EMEA sales management role for full Cadence verification suite (simulation, testbench, formal and emulation/acceleration tools).
In 2009, he moved from EDA to the emerging IP domain, initially at ARC as VP International sales for EMEA, APAC and Japan, evolving to international roles in Virage and then Synopsys (via M&A). Since 2012 he is back in Cadence, ramping up the emerging VIP and IP business across EMEA with a growing portfolio, organically and by M&A such as Tensilica, Cosmic, Evatronix and lately NuSemi.
He currently works in the Munich office of Cadence Design Systems.
