Welcome

 We believe that market opportunities are driven by new trends:
- EDA Market is moving towards ESL.
- IP Reuse and the need of interoperability change the design requirements.
- Components are more and more complex driving the cost of design higher, in proportions such that the number of 
  ASICs designed may actually decrease: start-ups in particular cannot afford the tools they need.
- Complexity increases but time to market/time in market decreases.

Our vision is to become a critical technology service provider to the semiconductor industry.

Our mission is to provide to EDA/ESL customers tools and services that drastically reduce the global cost of complex design, preserving our clients’ design flow , their independence from EDA vendors and their investment by relying on a worldwide adopted specification:  IP-XACT ^tm (soon to be IEEE P1685).


We develop Magillem, the pioneer tool suite providing an integrated development environment to systems designers. We audit our clients’ own design process and customize the Magillem package to adapt it to their flow requirements. To do so we custom tailor software to implement their specifics and to support them at all steps of the flow integration.

Our clients are semiconductors manufacturers (ASICs, ASSPs), system integrators and information technology companies engaged in the research, design, development, manufacture and integration of advanced technology systems, products and services (using ASICs and FPGAs). 
 

The SPIRIT Consortium provides:

- A unified set of high quality IP-XACT™ specification for documenting IP using XML meta-data, configuring, integrating, and verifying IP in advanced SoC design tool sets.
- Interfacing tools using APIs that access design meta-data descriptions of complete system designs.
- Specifications are tuned to the requirements of the industry, and focused on enabling technologies for the efficient design of electronic systems from concept to production.  

About The Consortium

- A global organization focused on establishing multi-faceted IP/tool integration standards
- Comprised of more than 75 leading EDA, IP, system integration, and semiconductor companies. Worldwide acceptance and undisputed leadership will accelerate IEEE certification.
