IP that works. Experience that Counts

CAST develops and supports over 100 different popular and standards-based IP cores, including 8051s, H.264, PCI Express, AES, and even complete platforms for ARM-based SoCs (see menu to the left).

With fifteen years of experience and hundreds of successful customers, we know how to deliver IP that works. Our complete, high-quality cores are ready for implementation in custom or structured ASICs or in FPGAs, and our world-wide team with a 24/7 culture provides quick, effective support.

IP Cores
From developing advanced new System on Chip (SoC) products to replacing obsolete parts, our broad range of proven IP cores has the functions and quality you need. We offer more cores independent of EDA tools and implementation technology than you'll find anywhere else, including:

8- and 16-bit processor compatibles for the Z80 and 68000; 32025 and 32025TX DSPs; and more successful 8051 variations and installations than anyone else.
Bus and network interfaces including Ethernet MACs, LIN, CAN, SPI, PCI and PCI Express.
The widest range of image compression cores available anywhere, from JPEG through JPEG 2000.
Security-ready AES, MD5, and SHA encryption cores.
Peripherals such as controllers for smart card readers and video displays.
An assortment of synchronous UARTs and an SDLC for communications.
A variety of basic logic parts and models.
A cost-effective solution for extending product life through 2901 processors, Z80 support functions, controllers, peripherals, and many more replacement parts.
All CAST IP cores come complete and ready to use, and are backed with our widely-regarded expert support.
SoC Kernel IP Platforms
Get a head start on your 32-bit processor based systems with our SoC Kernels and pre-integrated IP (PiP) platforms.

SOC Kernels are:

pre-integrated,
processor agnostic, and
technology independent.
They combine essential software like device drivers and boot code with multiple IP cores — timers, memory controllers, etc. — in a verified package ready for system development.

SOC Kernels are reasy to expand into more complex systems, and several pre-expanded PIPs are available now.
