IC Design Centre (ICDC)

These facilities mainly consist of:
# Centres of EDA tools and Design Engineering Offices,

IP or SIP stands for Silicon intellectual property. IPSC aims to faciltate the coordination among IP vendors (IP providers) and IP users (customers of IP providers) to provide affordable, silicon proven and top quality IP cores, by providing:
# A secure environment, and on-site front line technical support, and
# MPW service (Multi-Project Wafer or Multi Project Chip) and Low Volume Production (LVP) services from various foundries.
