https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_intellectual_property_core https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_intellectual_p... It's a logic or semiconductor layout design for a component (e.g. a processor core, or a peripheral like a UART, DMA controller, etc.). "IP" for hardware is roughly analogous to "source code" for software.
