FAQ

WE LIKE SIMPLICITY AND TRANSPARENCY

What is your business model?

We license semiconductor IP cores and provide design services. For IP cores, we typically charge an upfront license fee which is invoiced when the product is delivered.

Do you have a reference in design?

Yes. We have a few FPGA reference designs (Xilinx and Intel PSG) that we can provide to help you integrate the cores in your design.

What licensing models do you support?

Our licensing models are based on common set of terms known as the SignOnce IP License. We offer project and site licensing options.

Do you provide support?

Technical support and updates are included in the first year after delivery of the IP cores. It’s generally via email and conference calls. It is also possible to extend the support, updates and maintenance period.

Minimize time-to-market with our implementation expertise and support

We can easily customize our products to meet your needs by combining different speeds and options specifically adapted to your applications.
