Changes to our work schedule during the COVID-19 pandemic...


Zipcores sends out heart-felt thanks to the medical professionals working tirelessly during this COVID-19 pandemic. They are the true heroes in this crisis. Here's hoping for better times and a return to 'normality' as soon as possible. To our customers, we would like to advise that Zipcores' employees will continue to be working remotely from home during the next couple of weeks due to the severity of cases here in Spain. We've been hit hard by the coronavirus, but we'll do our best to maintain services to the best of our ability under the circumstances. All IP Core sales, FPGA, SoC and ASIC custom design will continue but with some restrictions on physical board testing and prototyping services. Many thanks for your understanding.

New IP cores available for ADS-B in-flight communications...


After clocking over 500 hours of successful flight trials, we are delighted to offer two new ADS-B receiver solutions for general sale. Operating at carrier frequencies of 978 MHz and 1090 MHz, the IP Cores are compliant with RTCA specifications: DO-282B and DO-260B for Universal Access Transceiver (UAT) and Extended Squitter (ES) equipment. Provided as VHDL source code, the IP is fully generic and is suitable for both FPGA and ASIC implementations. In flight acceptance testing was carried out with the help of our partners at Flight Data Systems Inc. Please click on the following links for more information: ADS-B (UAT) and ADS-B (ES).
