I spend around half of my time thinking and working on Intellectual Property (IP) related items. A big portion of that time is spent working with third party IP partners. I see these as important as they extend the range of IP available for our devices beyond what we choose to develop internally.
This morning we announced our most recent 3rd party IP partner WDC and their 65xx microprocessor core. WDC joins other recent additions to the ispLeverCORE Connection program such as IntelliProp and their line up of ATA cores, Mercury Computing with their industry leading Serial RapidIO products, Art of Silicon who provides image processing expertise and Elliptic who provides a range of AES and DES products.
By extending the portfolio of IP beyond our ispLeverCORE program these partners represent Lattice's "More of The Best" philosophy. "More" means more variety. "The Best" means best in class. With our IP partners, Lattice brings you more variety of best in class IP: "More of The Best."
So, if you haven't checked out Lattice IP over the last year I encourage you to click on one of the links above. Hopefully you will find something that will let you get your next design to market quicker and with less risk.
