Electronic Design Solutions
Traditional Design Service and IP companies take a 'one-size fits all approach' and typically offer a previously completed design (as an IP Core) as a solution to your design. It will require additional time and engineering effort to get it to 'fit' your requirements. Ingot has taken a more 'custom tailored' approach. We have used our extensive system design experience to create a unique infrastructure that allows us to tailor our target designs to your specific application. We call these design environments Electronic Design Solutions (EDS) Technology.
