Welcome to The SPIRIT Consortium

The SPIRIT Consortium officially incorporated as an open, independent, California non-profit organization in July 2006 to enable rapid, reliable deployment of IP into advanced design environments.

IP-XACT 1.4 from The SPIRIT Consortium - a New ESL-Based Specification

The SPIRIT Consortium’s new IP-XACT 1.4 specification expands the range of IP that can be used in an IP-XACT Design Environment and targets new applications, specifically those dealing with transactional modeling and advanced verification methodologies. By using an IP-XACT Design Environment, designers can automatically create many different expressions of a design in a consistent and correlated way.
 
IP-XACT 1.4 benefits include: 

  • Documentation of all aspects of IP using XML databook format 
  • Documentation of models in a quantifiable and language-independent way 
  • Enables designers to deploy specialist knowledge in their design

The new specification also includes a tight generator interface (TGI), which promotes portability of generators—program modules that process XML data into meaningful data for a design.

Join The SPIRIT Consortium today to participate in the ongoing development of IP-XACT and get access to the proposed specifications up to six months earlier than the public release date!
