CAST, Inc.
CAST provides general purpose IP (gpIP), a broad range of popular and
standards-based cores that includes processors, interfaces, and application-specific
functions for multimedia and encryption. Designers use these cores so
they can concentrate on the more unique, creative aspects of their system
designs, or to quickly incorporate technology beyond their normal expertise.
Privately owned and operating since 1993 with a focus on making IP practical
and affordable, the company has established a reputation for high-quality
products, simple licensing, and responsive technical support.
Documentation for these CAST IP Cores optimized for Actel programmable
logic devices and approved by Actel as CompanionCores can be viewed and
downloaded from this site. For information about pricing and licensing
CompanionCore products contact CAST directly.
Note: CompanionCores are Semiconductor Intellectual Property
cores provided by Actel's strategic IP partners that are targeted for
use in Actel programmable logic devices and that meet Actel's rigorous
technical and sales standards. Such core verification includes ensuring
seamless implementation through Actel's suite of internal and third-party
EDA development tools and the availability of accurate and complete technical
documentation.
