TSMC provides the semiconductor industry's largest catalog of ecosystem-partner, silicon-verified, production-proven and foundry-specific intellectual property. All IP cores are validated in TSMC silicon to ensure the best possible design experience, easiest design reuse and the fastest integration into the overall design system.

Our best-of-class ecosystem partner IP offerings include system-level cores that provide high-performance functions including:

	Embedded Processors
	Digital Signal Processing
	Communications and Networking
	High-speed Interfaces
	Mixed Signal
	RF
	Multimedia
	Programmable Logic
	Standard Cell
	Standard I/O
	Embedded Memory

All cores in the TSMC catalog are created, directly sold and directly supported by the individual ecosystem partner to provide superior design and business model support. Each TSMC process-proven IP core complies with TSMC design rules and models and includes such deliverables as:

	Front end and back end views
	Test suites
	Coverage and test methodologies
	Silicon verification and characterization reports for area, speed and power

Note: TSMC does not guarantee that silicon-verified IP will work in any given design environment or achieve certain production yield ratios. In addition, TSMC is not responsible for commitments made to customers by ecosystem partners.


New Soft IP Alliance Program

TSMC has extended its IP Alliance to now include Soft-IP partners through the "TSMC Soft-IP Alliance Program" This program allows Soft-IP partners to access and leverage TSMC's advanced process technologies to optimize power, performance, and area) for their IP.
TSMC offers a large catalog of ecosystem-partner and RTL-based soft intellectual property (Soft-IP). Provider cores are checked through the TSMC foundry checklist to ensure the best possible design experience, easiest design reuse' and the fastest integration into the overall design system. Our best-of-class eco-system partner Soft-IP offerings include:

	RTL-based Embedded Processors (CPU, GPU, DSP)
	High performance audio/video codec/decoder supporting various industrial standards
	Security
	Interface controller (e.g. USB 3.0 controller)
	Inter-connect IP

All cores in the TSMC catalog are created, directly sold and directly supported by the individual IP partner to better support each customer's particular design and business model.  

Note: TSMC does not guarantee that silicon-verified IP will work in any given design environment or achieve certain production yield ratios. In addition, TSMC is not responsible for commitments made to customers by ecosystem partners.
