Engineering Services

01

ASIC RTL Design

Full RTL design in Verilog and VHDL for FPGA, Structured ASIC, and full-custom ASIC targets. Our engineers work within your design flow — or provide the complete flow — across any major process node (TSMC, GlobalFoundries, Samsung).

03

IP Core Integration

Licensed an IntelliProp IP core? Our engineers can embed directly to complete integration into your design — covering clocking, reset, bus fabric hookup, timing closure, and bring-up support. Available as a fixed-price engagement or time-and-materials.

04

FPGA Prototyping

FPGA bring-up and prototyping across Intel PSG (Stratix, Arria), Xilinx/AMD (Virtex, Kintex, UltraScale), Achronix, and Lattice platforms. Reference bitstreams and board support packages available for common development boards.

05

Protocol Consulting

Architecture review, protocol selection, and feasibility analysis for designs involving CXL, NVMe, SATA, SAS, Gen-Z, PCIe, or RAID. IntelliProp's engineers have contributed directly to standards development — an advantage that translates into concrete implementation guidance.

06

Custom IP Development

Need a protocol variant, performance optimization, or entirely new IP core not in the catalog? IntelliProp develops custom IP under NDA with full RTL source and testbench delivery. All custom IP follows the same silicon-proven verification methodology as the standard catalog.

We Embed.
We Don't Consult.

IntelliProp engineers work within your design environment — your tools, your version control, your stand-ups. We don't produce recommendations and leave. We deliver working RTL, passing regressions, and signed-off coverage reports.

[PLACEHOLDER: Replace with a real description of how a typical engagement unfolds — kickoff, milestones, deliverables, wrap-up.]

Engagements range from short-term verification sprints to multi-year embedded design partnerships.

01
Initial Scope Call

We review your design requirements, timeline, and target platform. No NDA required for initial discussion.

02
Statement of Work

Fixed-scope SOW or time-and-materials agreement. NDA executed. Access to your repo and tools provisioned.

03
Embedded Execution

IntelliProp engineers join your team. Daily collaboration, weekly progress reports, milestone-gated deliverables.

04
Review & Sign-Off

Code review, coverage closure, regression clean. Deliverables handed off with documentation and support window.

Deep Domain Expertise

Protocol Depth
From Day One

Most contract engineering firms hire generalists and ramp up on your protocol. IntelliProp engineers have shipped production silicon in these protocols — that knowledge arrives on day one.

We are also active participants in the standards bodies that define these protocols — CXL Consortium, PCI-SIG, JEDEC, NVM Express, ONFI, and SATA-IO. When a spec is ambiguous, we know who to call.
