	Choosing IP - Its not just the product, its the relationship   By Stephane Hauradou, Co-founder and CTO, PLDA You are on a very strict schedule for your next chip. Not wanting to reinvent the wheel, you plan to go to an outside vendor for some of your silicon IP. Your decision is - do I get my IP from a large supplier who offers many cores covering a broad range of functionality (the supermarket) or do I go to a focused vendor who specializes in the critical piece of IP I need (the specialty shop)? Well, it depends on the IP. more >> Go to Handshake Solutions for extreme low-power HT80C51, ARM996HS and more more >>		IP design for Asic FPGA, Memory Controllers, Crypto, Security, JPEG2000 more >> XPM / OTP - 1K-bit to 128K-bit NVM IP / OTP in TSMC 65 nm LP / 2.5V from Kilopass Technology XPM/OTP - 1Kb to 1Mb NVM / OTP in TSMC 90G / 3.3V from Kilopass Technology Timing closed GDSII DDR PHY data slices available in several... from Denali Software Timing closed GDSII DDR PHY data slices available in several... from Denali Software DesignWare SATA Device Controller optimized for high performance,... from Synopsys ESD protection cells for Serial ATA applications - 65nm TSMC from Sarnoff Europe ESD protection cells for SerDes applications - 65nm UMC from Sarnoff Europe Licensable, High-Performance Application Oriented DSP Processor from VeriSilicon TSMC CLN40LP 0.040um Low Banwidth PLL - 150MHz-750MHz from True Circuits TSMC CLN40LP 0.040um Low Banwidth PLL - 300MHz-1500MHz from True Circuits XAP5 16-bit processor core XAP RISC from Cambridge Consultants DigRF 2.5G-3G Physical Layer 1.8-1.2 in TSMC 65nm LP from MIPS Technologies - Analog...
