Integration-optimized IP
Today's SoC designs require a new definition of IP, one that extends beyond traditional IP to address integration complexity, verification and software to significantly reduce the cost of SoC design. In this definition of IP, Cadence delivers a fully integrated IP stack that extends from the physical interface though the controller to the bare-metal software, and includes a comprehensive design and verification environment.

Component IP
Complementing Integration-Optimized IP, Cadence's component IP provides both common and high-performance Silicon IP that can be utilized in many different designs. Component IP is of high quality, has a well defined set of deliverables, and works well in your SoC design environment.
