VSI’s area of planned activity is to

define, develop, ratify, test and promote

open interface specifications which will

facilitate the mix-and-match of

intellectual property blocks from

different sources onto a single silicon

chip—much like combining various

integrated circuits or other components

onto a printed circuit board. By defining

‘‘Virtual Socket Interfaces’’ (hence the

name ‘‘VSI’’), VSI hopes to enable the

use or reuse of intellectual property

blocks from different sources in the

design of ‘‘systems-chips’’, thereby

shortening the design cycle and

promoting the growth of the systemschips industry. These open

specifications will be designed to allow

the mix-and-match of system-levelmodule intellectual property (including

analog, digital, mixed signal and

software intellectual property), as it

relates to the design and development of

systems-chips.

Membership in the VSI Alliance will

be open to any individual or entity that

is interested in supporting the objectives

and goals of VSI and subscribes to its

bylaws and membership agreements.

Director of Operations, Antitrust Division.
