Electronic Design Solutions Traditional Design Service and IP companies take a 'one-size fits all approach' and typically offer a previously completed design (as an IP Core) as a solution to your design. It will require additional time and engineering effort to get it to 'fit' your requirements. Ingot has taken a more 'custom tailored' approach. We have used our extensive system design experience to create a unique infrastructure that allows us to tailor our target designs to your specific application. We call these design environments Electronic Design Solutions (EDS) Technology.
Ingot can create a PCI-Express IP Solution optimized for specific applications. Features and capabilities can be added or removed based on the application requirements. If the system requires low-latency our high-performance interface can be used. If the design has a small die size target we can provide a 'bare bones' solution with just the right set of features to hit functionality requirements while minimizing die area and power consumption. Many additional customization options are available and can be determined during a detailed requirements review with Ingot engineers. The new PCI-Express Solutions Guide contains several example customization options. It is available on the Ingot Systems web site at
