Home / About IntelliProp

IntelliProp is a Colorado-based company that was founded in 1999 to provide ASIC design and verification services for the storage industry. Today IntelliProp is a leading provider of intellectual property (IP) cores and complete, fully featured ASSP products targeted at memory and storage companies requiring IntelliProp’s unique products. The company is strategically headquartered in Longmont, Colorado, the heart of an area dominated by major memory and storage manufacturers.

Providers of memory and storage Design IP cores (Gen-Z, NVMe, SATA, SAS, PCIe, Encryption, RAID and protocol bridge solutions) and fully featured ASSP products targeting manufacturers of memory systems, flash and storage products. IntelliProp devices have applications in a multitude of customer products that require interfacing to memory and storage devices, including traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDD), Solid State Drives (SSD) and Multi Media Cards (MMC). Our customers are provided with the flexibility to select from a portfolio of ASSP products. Customers may also integrate IntelliProp’s licensed Design IP into a broad array of FPGA families, which are available from industry leading suppliers as well as state of the art Structured ASIC and ASIC designs processes . Whichever path you choose, IntelliProp will supply an extensive design and verification experience that augments our customer’s in-house resources so they may create their own FPGA or ASIC Implementations.

IntelliProp continues to gain recognition as a leading expert in the memory and storage industry and actively participates in committees for creating new and maintaining existing protocols.

IntelliProp’s Philosophy

IntelliProp has a core belief that system domain knowledge and verification tools expertise are the twin pillars that enable effective and efficient FPGA and ASIC designs. IntelliProp has key strengths that can empower these pillars to build a strong foundation for your product development goals.

Our system domain focus is Memory and Storage – Protocols, Architectures and Systems!

We have in-depth and hands-on knowledge of all major Memory and Storage protocols – DRAM, NAND, Gen-Z, CXL, ATA, Serial ATA, SCSI, Serial Attached SCSI, Fibre Channel, CompactFlash+, MMC and CE-ATA. This focus enables us to keep ourselves in-sync with the developments in this domain and understand the chip architectures in the memory and storage industry. IntelliProp is committed to providing our customers with knowledgeable consulting engineers and high quality products that solve critical problems.

Our verification expertise is a broad spectrum covering robust methodology, different languages and associated tools. The IntelliProp engineers are well versed in E, VERA, SystemC, Verilog and VHDL. They are proficient in advanced verification techniques such as constrained random stimulus generation, functional and code coverage analysis, regression testing and reusable modular test-benches.
