CAST at Twenty-Five

We recently had the pleasure of celebrating CAST’s twenty-fifth year in operation. We've been focused on reusable silicon intellectual property through this whole period, though the terminology and certainly the industry has changed over time: we...

Automotive Interconnect Challenges

This presentation given at the REUSE 2017 conference describes how reliable silicon and software IP with the right features is key for the timely design of today's complex automotive electronics.

Warren Savage with Nikos Zervas at REUSE 2016

Industry vet Warren Savage discusses reasons for the growth of the IP market in general—and CAST's success in particular—with CAST CEO Nikos Zervas.

How To: Easily Control & Monitor Your Design Over Ethernet

Back to the Future. The End of IoT

The term Internet of Things is the most over used phrase of the last few years so designers of IP and electronic systems refocus on customer needs and long term benefits.

Choosing the Right IP Cores for Low-Latency Video Streaming

A negligible delay from video capture to display—the “glass-to-glass” latency—is critical for many video streaming applications, from advanced driver assistant systems (ADAS) and unmanned vehicles to video conferencing and broadcasting.

IoT Phase 2: Design Matters

The next phase of the IoT is about to start and what most distinguishes it from the first is clever design and using the right IP.

Innovative Energy Savings Using GZIP IP Within IoT Devices (D&R IP-SoC 2015 Paper)

A paper, slides, and presentation video discussing how lossless data compression—with CAST's ZipAccel GZIP IP cores—can save significant energy in IOT applications.

White Paper — Data Compression for Low Energy IoT Connectivity

Lossless compression via hardware GZIP iP can reduce connectivity and energy requirements for IoT and other Internet devices.

White Paper — Firmware Compression for Lower Energy and Faster Boot in IoT Devices

The phrase “IoT” for Internet of Things has exploded to cover a wide range of different applications and diverse devices with very different requirements. Most observers, however, would agree that low energy consumption is a key element for IoT, as...
