What is Perforce IPLM?

The Perforce IPLM (formerly Methodics) Platform enables comprehensive traceability in the global semiconductor design landscape. Developing semiconductor and chip designs often entails significant costs and lengthy timelines, leaving minimal margin for mistakes that would necessitate starting from scratch. By facilitating the sharing and reuse of intellectual property (IP), companies can accelerate their time-to-market, allowing for a single design to be utilized across various versions. This strategic approach not only enhances efficiency but also contributes to increased revenue opportunities. Perforce IPLM empowers organizations by offering a robust IP lifecycle management solution that provides complete oversight of both internal and external design components. It encompasses libraries, new digital and analog designs, as well as standalone IP, ensuring a seamless integration process. Furthermore, Perforce IPLM enhances internal design traceability and promotes reuse through the effective collaboration between IP creators and consumers, thereby fostering innovation in the industry. Ultimately, this platform positions companies for success in a highly competitive market.

What is Flux?

Flux is online PCB design software for hardware startups, electronics engineers, and product teams. Teams can develop schematics, lay out printed circuit boards, run simulations, and check design rules in a web browser, without installing a desktop EDA application. The AI assistant supports component research, schematic generation from a plain-language circuit description, component placement, trace routing, and design review. Engineers remain responsible for setting constraints and approving the final design. Flux supports simultaneous editing, project comments, and access permissions for collaborative hardware development. Teams can reuse community designs and parts, check live component prices and availability, and prepare manufacturing outputs including Gerber, BOM, and pick-and-place files. For migration, Flux imports Altium ASCII and Cadence EDIF schematic files, plus KiCad component libraries. PCB layouts are not included in these imports. Trial access includes a limited AI allowance. After the trial, editing or exporting private projects and using AI require a paid subscription. AI usage is metered in Agent Compute Units (ACUs), with included allowances varying by plan. Public-project and community access remain available.
