intellectual property (IP) core

Definition

design element that implements a self-standing function or group of functions for which ownership rights exist

Notes

  • NOTE 1 IP core can be acquired by a customer, for a given price and under an owner-defined license agreement specifying the customer's acquired rights.
  • NOTE 2 IP core can be supplied as an HDL file (e.g. synthesizable VHDL code or gate-level netlist) and with the essential complementary documentation that allows the customer to successfully integrate and use it in a system (e.g. User's manual and verification files).
