Saros
has been supplying soft core IP in VHDL and Verilog code for over ten
years now. In that time we have provided a range of cores to our customers
including Micro-processor, USB, PCI, PCI Express, 10/100 Ethernet and Audio
cores.
Interestingly,
the last couple of years have shown a real change in attitude to using IP.
Nowadays, most people realise re-writing code or standards that already
exists is too expensive to be feasible and distracts them from their core
development resulting in a longer time to market.
Benefits
of IP
-
Don't waste time
re-inventing the wheel
-
Concentrate
on your core expertise
-
Verification
is already done - you just need to integrate
-
Reduce
the risk across the whole development
-
Get
to market quicker
