OVER 60 YEARS OF COMBINED EXPERIENCE
Based in Toronto, Crucial IP Inc. is a provider of silicon IP and design services to the Consumer Electronics and Broadcast industries. Founded by a team of veterans with over 60 years of combined experience in consumer video and computer graphics, Crucial IP is committed to providing high quality, cost effective IP cores for ASIC and FPGA implementation. With a focus on image quality and robust design, all cores have been subjected to hundreds of hours of rigorous testing.
LOW RISK & COST EFFECTIVE SOLUTIONS FOR ASIC & FPGA IMPLEMENTATION
As silicon densities continue to increase, competitive pressures dictate that companies incorporate more and more functionality into their designs, whether implemented in the ASIC or FPGA domain. Eventually, companies must reach beyond their core competencies into areas less familiar to them. The availability of IP cores for a wide of range of functions across the industry, showcases this fact. The use of 3rd party IP and design services allows companies to bring the required functionality to market in a low risk and cost effective manner.
