“The barrier is the engineering creativity, not the tool!”

IPGEN is an analog and mixed signal IP provider (silicon proven) and an EDA tool company. In 2006 IPGEN has launched a disruptive design methodology for analog and mixed signal circuits that decouples design process from the process technology. Fast design, supreme reusability and a significant reduction of risk and cost as to re-targeting and design porting will be enjoyed by customers through this new methodology.

“Value Proposition”

IPGEN — customer are benefiting from
