The first open registry for silicon IP

125+ IPs indexed and growing

Software has PyPI, npm, and Crates.io. Until VyCatalog™, silicon had nothing equivalent.

A proprietary registry would cap supply; an open one compounds it.

VyCatalog supports both open and private catalogs — the public registry defines the open silicon metadata standard, and private catalogs let enterprises apply that same standard to their own proprietary, embargoed, or licensed IP. One engine, one metadata model, two configurations.

The Vyges Metadata Standard turns the spreadsheet into a code artifact — registers, parameters, and interfaces version-controlled with the RTL, not maintained as separate spec docs.

IP Nutrition Labels & Catalogs

You wouldn't open every cereal box at the grocery store and taste it before buying. You read the label.

Today, "tasting" silicon IP means reading the RTL — every interface, every register, every state machine. Engineers need (System)Verilog fluency to read and understand. AI tools burn tokens parsing it from scratch every time. Labels avoid both costs.

VyCatalog gives every IP block a standardized IP Nutrition Label: bus, registers, timing, integrity status, license, target PDK — all scannable in seconds. The label normalizes across IPs the same way an FDA food label normalizes "salt" vs "sodium bicarbonate" — different underlying source, one readable surface. Engineers scan it; AI agents consume it directly.

Scroll down, click any IP in the catalog to see a real label. For the underlying schema, see the Vyges Metadata Standard.

IP Catalog

Live

Browse real IP entries from the VyCatalog™ public registry. Each block is described using a standardized, machine-readable nutrition label designed for both engineers and AI agents.

All IP Blocks

Welcome to VyCatalog

Select a category from the directory to browse IP blocks, or click on an IP to view its details.

Why VyCatalog?

The first discoverable registry of verified, composable hardware IP blocks with standardized metadata and quality assurance.

Verified Quality

All IP blocks undergo quality assurance and compliance checking with standardized metadata validation.

Discoverable

Search and filter IP blocks by category, license, target technology, and design type with rich metadata.

Composable

Standardized interfaces and metadata enable seamless integration and composition of IP blocks.

VyCatalog for the enterprise

Same engine as the open registry — applied to proprietary, embargoed, and licensed IP.

How it scales for enterprises

The public registry and the private catalogs we operate for buyers run on the same engine. The open catalog scale-tests the enterprise deployment; fixes flow in both directions; there is no fork.

Deployment options

Private catalogs can be deployed on-premise, in your own cloud, or as a Vyges-managed deployment — your choice. The same engine runs in all three; only the operator differs.

Where it fits

VyCatalog Enterprise sits where established enterprise IPLM (Perforce IPLM, Siemens) and emerging cloud-platform marketplaces (ChipFoundry) leave gaps: silicon-native and AI-native rather than retrofitted PLM; source-controlled metadata standard rather than server-configured per-instance schema; customer-deployed (on-premise, your cloud, or Vyges-managed) rather than cloud-upload-only; multi-target (ASIC, FPGA, chiplet) rather than ASIC-only.

Built for AI-assisted IP workflows

Machine-readable metadata is cheap to query and context-cheap to keep loaded.

Navigating thousands of IP repositories — many of them archived — costs engineering hours and, increasingly, real LLM tokens. Every time an AI assistant greps raw RTL to answer a question the metadata could have answered, you pay twice: once for the tokens, once for the context window the irrelevant code occupied.

The Vyges Metadata Standard lets agents read the structured fact first and the code only when the question demands it. An AI agent can audit a 10,000-IP estate without loading every archived RTL line into context. Token cost stays bounded; context windows go further; the answer arrives faster.

Organized by Function

IP blocks are categorized by their primary function, making it easy to find the right component for your design.
