ALSE IPs

In the years 2000, after about 10 years of developing custom solutions for individual customers, we realized that a lot more customers could take advantage of our large know-how to build powerful, efficient and economical solutions, quickly. Our expertise covers several domains among which: Ethernet, 10G Ethernet, High-speed links including Aurora, ADC/DAC Interfaces (JESD204), PCIExpress, Video and Image Processing, Image or Video Compression & Decompression (JPEG, Wavelet CODEC, JPEG-XS), all kinds of High Performance Memory controllers, etc.

So we decided to inject some extra efforts to create off-the-shelf “IPs” : proven and re-usable blocks for specific functions, and for multiple FPGA families and vendors. To date, very few companies survived in this market, for multiple reasons.
Selling, supporting, or acquiring and using IPs is all but obvious. 100% of our IP customers are satisfied, but there is a lot of ALSE efforts behind our success.

Advantages

All our IPs are either unique or offer significant advantages over the competition.
Our prices are very attractive, but we pride ourselves in offering Better IPs (faster, smaller, better performance). Our IPs are unbeatable on both Performance and Price. And, most importantly, we stand behind them and we make sure our IPs will work flawlessly in your designs. Here too, we have a 100% success rate.

Unlike many predictions, clever, efficient, and extremely optimized design is not losing ground, quite the contrary ! With the strong trend to replace ASICs by FPGAs, the cost must be drastically optimized (including speed grade and area) and inefficient implementations are often not an option. Other factors are pushing in the same direction (Fmax, power consumption reduction, space reduction, chip count reduction, cost reduction, etc). We design FPGAs with many millions of Logic Elements, but we also design very small (and low-cost) FPGAs embedding an impressive amount of complex features.

Don’t take our word for it !

We are so confident in our technology that we make special efforts to facilitate the Evaluation of our IPs (we have built a lot of free demonstrators).
Contact our Engineers so we can see how you could evaluate our IP.

Affordable yet not Free !

If you have a real need and a budget (our IPs are cost-effective, but not free), we can help you.
If you are a student, take a look at our “Free IPs” section.
