Amphion is a supplier of semiconductor IP for digital video and broadband wireless System-on-a-Chip, ASIC and programmable logic (FPGA, PLD) integrated circuit design.
Amphion delivers high-performance solutions for video and image compression, wireless baseband, advanced encryption, and speech and channel coding with a range of silicon-optimized products. Using proprietary techniques to directly map digital signal processing functions and algorithms into hardware, Amphion develops and licenses IP cores that are close to optimal in terms of power, cycles, and area – computationally up to several orders of magnitude more efficient than equivalent functions implemented on a programmable processor. Amphion cores operate standalone, or by direct interface to industry-standard RISC and DSP processors, and can be easily migrated through successive generations of fabrication technology.
Amphion supplies its application-specific IP cores as "Firm IP" in targeted-netlist formats. Firm IP delivers the full benefits of the promise of IP portability and reusability; the silicon optimization needed to meet the performance, power, and device area requirements of today's leading System-on-a-Chip designs; and the time-to-market advantage needed to compete in fast-moving markets.
