With high-definition digital era arriving, the complexity of video codec algorithm and the scale of video codec chip will increase more and more rapidly. Because of integration of embedded processor and many IP cores, ASIC design cycle will be much longer. 随着高清数字时代的到来,视频编解码算法复杂度不断增加,视频编解码芯片规模越来越大,一款ASIC中往往集成了嵌入式处理器和大量的IP核,使得产品设计周期越来越长。
