IP Categories

USB

USB is a commonly deployed digital wired interface on PCs, printers, digital cameras, PDAs, and other digital consumer electronic products.

USB Subsystem

The goal of Mentor’ Graphic's IP Division is to offer a complete IP subsystem available in the standards-based connectivity space.

Ethernet

With the Networking industry’s ever-increasing demand for faster speeds, we are committed to providing the most flexible and problem-free IP cores for Ethernet connectivity.

Mixed Signal

All of our Mixed Signal IP cores include Mentor Graphics 5-STAR global customer support for quicker response times, and ultimately a faster time to market for your end products.

Storage

We are the only Storage IP vendor to offer non-standard clocking support for our customer’s Parallel ATA designs, which provide greater flexibility when integrating PATA Host controller.

Peripheral

Peripheral IP is often required to complete ASIC or SoC designs. It ranges in type and complexity from microcontrollers to communication interfaces such as I2C.

Memory-IP

Designs requiring embedded Memory IP with the concurrent delivery of the highest possible density at the lowest possible dynamic power, leakage and cost while achieving target speed are ideal for the Mentor Graphics coolSRAM, coolROM™, coolCAM™, and Register file (coolREG) hard IP delivered through the MemQuest™ memory compiler.
