IP Alliance Program

By TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company)

The TSMC IP Alliance Program, a key component of TSMC Open Innovation Platform® (OIP), includes major and leading IP companies, providing the semiconductor industry's largest catalog of silicon-verified, production-proven and foundry-specific intellectual property (IP). IP Alliance members can access TSMC technical data and/or libraries to design their IP, are assigned dedicated account managers and get dedicated support from TSMC IP technical support teams. IP alliance members register their IP on TSMC's IP registration system to form TSMC's best-in-class ecosystem IP catalog. The TSMC IP catalog contains over tens of thousands of IP options from 40 IP alliance members. Customers can perform IP search with advanced criteria options in the “IP Center” on TSMC-Online Design Portal. All IPs in the TSMC IP catalog are created, directly sold and directly supported by the individual IP partner to better support each customer's particular design and business model. The following diagrams present the TSMC Ecosystem IP partners, and the various IP categories they provide, commonly used in a standard SoC design. If you are interested in being a member of the IP Alliance program and enabling tagging of your IP(s), please contact the IP Alliance team.
