IP Providers

To better serve our customers’ design needs using advanced CMOS, SiGe and other mixed-signal processes, we have a series of agreements with leading providers of physical design libraries, mixed-signal and non-volatile memory (NVM) design components.  These components are basic design building blocks, such as standard cells, interface input-output (I/O) cells, software compilers for the generation of on-chip embedded memories arrays, mixed-signal and NVM design blocks.
 
The process of qualifying an IP in any TowerJazz processes includes specification definition, program management and IP certification.
 
TowerJazz's IP partners provide proven, high quality IPs to embed within the design to support the design requirements of the chip development process. They comply with industry standards and reduce the overall time-to-market for complex projects.
