Abstract

See full text

According to the invention, a method for valuing the contribution of IP Blocks into integrated circuit (IC) designs includes implementing a novel concept for valuing technical and economic factors. Based upon such factors, users can more reliably value, select and use IP Blocks for their IC design that furthers their objectives. In an embodiment according to the present invention, a method for determining a group of IP Blocks from a plurality of IP Blocks to incorporate into a circuit design includes the steps of determining a circuit architecture to be implemented by the circuit design, and determining a valuation for implementing the circuit architecture.
