    > Reuse of FPGA IP cores

Today’s FPGA technology provides more gates than ever before, and FPGA designs have evolved from simple glue logic into full Systems-On-a-Reprogrammable-Chip (SoRC). An amount of available silicon resources in present FPGA devices is so big that FPGA development teams face an old problem known from the ASIC design area – the design productivity gap!

Well accepted way to fill this productivity gap is to reuse existing designs or IP cores. Reuse of old designs was always a part of engineering practice, but usage of third-party developed IP cores for FPGA designs is a newer, and more demanding approach.

The third-party IP developer must put an extensive amount of efforts into development of a reusable IP core. The core must be highly configurable, in-depth tested and verified, as well as accompanied with various deliverables that enable an easy customization and implementation into end user’s SoRC.

End user of FPGA IP cores looks for IP cores with appropriate features set, which can be integrated into targeted design in a seamless way. The IP core must originate from a reliable source that assures a quality tech support, and can quickly respond on all end user’s requirements regarding an eventual customization.
