Customized IP
While large IP vendors lock their customers into using off-the-shelf cores, SmartDV offers IP Your Way: the flexibility to customize for your unique design needs—quickly, reliably, and affordably.
How do we do it? Engineering expertise and a very special compiler.
Every piece of IP in SmartDV’s catalog was generated using our SmartCompiler™. Over the years, we’ve honed this robust, proprietary technology to both create and customize IP. It’s the core of our business—pun intended!
How it works is a closely guarded trade secret—but we make the power of this one-of-a-kind compiler available to our customers for both IP customization and bespoke IP development. For you, it’s virtually effortless. Read on to learn more about the process.
Custom IP: Easy as
One, Two, Three
The process for customizing IP with SmartDV couldn’t be more straightforward. You tell us what you need, we carefully define the specifications, and we work together to make sure that everything works perfectly.
Dozens of industry standards are represented in our broad catalog. We maintain close ties with global standards bodies to keep pace with the latest innovations and protocol updates. If we don’t have exactly what you’re looking for, we’re well equipped to create IP from scratch, too!
Customization can mean adding features, certainly, but it might also mean streamlining a core to remove what you don’t need. Whether you need more complexity or less, optimizing the IP to meet your design goals is the key.
Once the customizations are complete, our expert verification engineers will put the resulting IP through its paces using our vast VIP library before delivering it to you. If you’re sourcing multiple pieces of IP from us, we also offer pre-integration.
SmartDV’s research and development team has more than 650 years of collective engineering experience. Let us help you tackle design challenges and get exactly the IP you need.

At SmartDV, you’ll find the quality, reliable IP you need, plus the flexibility to optimize it for your design. We pride ourselves on rigorous testing and strive for 100% code and functional coverage of all IP before deployment.
