About Us
Founded in 1997, Digital Blocks architects, designs, verifies, and markets semiconductor IP cores
to worldwide technology systems companies.

Our
mission is to provide customers with pre-verified VHDL / Verilog soft IP cores that reduce
customer development costs and accelerate product time-to-volume goals.

Digital Blocks adheres to industry standard processes as well as internally developed processes
that guide our IP Core market definition, RTL micro-architecture design, VHDL / Verilog RTL
design, and verification activities.

Digital Blocks' organization comprises of the following Product Development & Support Groups:

  • Processor & Peripherals Group - With architect, design, & validation engineering from
    Bay Area Silicon Valley and Eastern US computer companies, Digital Blocks offers the
    DB8051C Microcontroller & Peripherals for embedded system design engineers.

    Building on our early processor design expertise with space-borne computers and continuing
    with our central processor & I/O controller design for mid-range computers, Digital Blocks
    offers the DB8051C Verilog IP Core with a high speed/power ratio in a low VLSI
    footprint. The DB8051C is an industry standard 8051 / 8052 Instruction Set Architecture
    (ISA) Microcontroller. The DB8051C targets standard-cell ASIC and FPGA devices with
    embedded microcontroller requirements.

    Digital Blocks offers the 82xx family of peripherals, as well as an expanding line of IP Cores  
    for the AMBA on-chip buses - including APB / AHB / AXI fabrics.

    Digital Blocks' design services maintains a lab whereby the DB8051C Microcontroller --
    along with Xilinx's MicroBlaze & PowerPC, Altera's NIOS-II, and ARM's Cortex
    microprocessors -- are developed within embedded ASIC & FPGA designs.

  • Display Controller Group - Digital Blocks offers the DB9000 family of feature-rich, cost-
    effective display controller IP Cores for leading technology companies requiring TFT LCD
    panels in their product. The Display Controller Group maintains a Display Labs whereby the
    DB9000 family of TFT LCD Controllers are tested with various microprocessors, bus
    interfaces to frame buffer memory, and different LCD panel manufacturers and resolutions.

  • Video Processing Group - Digital Blocks offers NTSC/PAL/SECAM Video Encoders /
    Decoders for embedded video applications.

  • Design Services Group - Digital Blocks offers customers design services associated with
    our IP Cores. We offer turnkey Printed Circuit Board design, FPGA design utilizing all
    leading FPGA technologies, ASIC/ASSP design, and associated software development.

Located in Glen Rock, New Jersey, Digital Blocks is located within the Eastern U.S. high-
technology corridor.
