Design reuse
Design reuse refers to the practice of reusing previously developed intellectual property (IP) blocks, modules, or sub-systems in new chip designs. These reusable components can include:
- Processor cores (CPU, GPU, NPU)
- Memory controllers and interface protocols
- Peripherals and communication IPs (NoC, UART, Ethernet)
- Security and encryption IPs (PUF, Crypto modules)
Instead of designing each component from scratch, design reuse enables faster and more reliable chip development, allowing teams to integrate pre-verified IP blocks that have already been tested for functionality, performance, and compliance.
