calculate per portion base selling price
Hi folks ..
what are the methodlogies taken to calculate the selling price of your design .. ? .. For example, for how much will you license a digital IP ? .. given that this IP can be sold on:
1- Funcationally Verified open-source RTL level, OR
2- Funcationally Verified Water Marked RTL, OR
3- Fully synthesized to Gate-Level Netlist (with DFT added), OR
4- With Back-End flow done, OR
5- Silicon Verified ..
.
.
.
If you have a customer asking for one of these, how much will you charge him ? .. what if he supports you with the design tools ? .. how much will it differ from the case in which you run your own tools ?
Is the price of the IP affected badly by the nature of the IP ? .. for example, is there a big difference in price between a Wireless IP and a Data Compression IP of the same size ? .. is there something like DSP IPs are the most expensive for example ?
I would also appreciate if you give us your opinions and information about licensing & royalities ..
Regards
