Intellectual Propriety models

prepared by P. Bakowski

Intellectual property models are the models of well known components used as building blocks for the construction of complex circuits or systems. The examples of IP models are : memory blocks (ROM, RAM blocks), communication components (e.g. USART or SAR components), processor cores and many others having a real value for the integration of new systems.
