Today, IP cores have emerged as an evolving trend in the area of electronic design automation (EDA). As blocks of reusable logic and integrated circuits, IP cores leverage the various components of an embedded chip to enhance the functionalities of chipsets. Thanks to the variety of their applications, IP cores are well poised to create lucrative opportunities for players in the semiconductor IP market. From modifying designs at a functional level to patching bugs and extending the features of existing chipsets, IP cores can be leveraged for almost every aspect of System on Chip (SoC) design.

Focused on supplanting traditional microprocessors with configurable programmable logic as well as memory and network connectivity, IP core vendors have taken a quantum leap in developing advanced cores. The advanced IP cores can be used extensively for video encoding, digital signal processing, and designing neural networks, medical devices, scientific instruments and avionics. FPGA developers are keen on leveraging these cores to enable networked applications such as software-defined networking, time stamping, latency-sensitive automated trading, and network capture. Not only do IP cores allow FPGA developers to design chips faster but also enhance the quality of devices and revamp product efficiency.
