IP Licensing

Silicon Image offers a broad portfolio of IP solutions for high-speed serial communications IC designs for the consumer electronics, PC and display, multimedia, communications, networking and storage solution markets. As the pioneer and market leader of the popular DVI and HDMI standards and an innovator and driver of the SATA interface, Silicon Image has shipped more than 100 million standards-based semiconductors. Leveraging this expertise, Silicon Image has teamed with other technology companies to bring standards-based products to market quickly by licensing its market-tested IP Cores for integration into system-on-a-chip (SOC) designs.
All Silicon Image cores are fully documented and supported by a dedicated engineering team to assure a smooth integration process. As an author and creator of industry standards, Silicon Image has invested many person-years and dollars testing these designs at industry PlugFests and compliance testing centers to assure interoperability among standards-based systems. Implementing these new high-speed serial communications standards in next-generation products is simple and easy; so is licensing a SATA, HDMI, DVI, multimedia, camera, communications or networking core from Silicon Image.

Technology
The Silicon Image cores have been designed and tested for production at both TSMC and UMC. On request, Silicon Image can port these cores to other silicon vendors' processes to meet your production needs.

Comprehensive Design Support
Silicon Image delivers a proven solution for HDMI, DVI, and SATA, backed by hundreds of successful designs, more than 100 million devices shipped, and well over a hundred patents. To ensure a timely and successful design, Silicon Image has crafted a comprehensive IP Core support program backed by a team of engineering specialists who have created the necessary deliverables to support the successful integration of these cores into your designs.
