Controller and PHY IP utilised by 00m+ production SoCs

Synopsys' solution, which includes controllers, PHYs, verification IP, IP Prototyping Kits and IP Virtual Development Kits, is claimed to reduce design risk and accelerate IP prototyping, software development and integration. The DesignWare USB 3.0 Controller and PHY IP has also been certified by the USB-IF more than 80 times, making it interoperable with many USB-enabled devices worldwide. While enabling 5.0 Gbps SuperSpeed USB data transfer rates, the solution lowers overall power consumption for mobile SoC designs. Supporting all leading foundries, the DesignWare USB 3.0 and PHY IP is available for more than 25 process technologies from 130-nm to 14/16-nm FinFET.

"Based on a long history of close collaboration with Synopsys, we have shipped hundreds of millions of products that incorporate Synopsys' DesignWare USB 2.0 and 3.0 IP. In the last year alone, tens of millions of units were shipped globally," said Sanghyun Lee, Vice President of Digital IP Development team, System LSI Business, Samsung Electronics. "By using Synopsys' DesignWare USB 3.0 IP, Samsung can deliver leading SoC products to our customers."

"Our SoCs for digital home, networking and WiFi applications ship in very high volumes, so we need high-quality, highly reliable USB 3.0 IP to help ensure our success," said Yee-Wei Huang, Vice President and Spokesman, Realtek. "We chose DesignWare USB 3.0 IP because Synopsys has a track record of delivering certified IP that has undergone extensive third-party interoperability testing. Synopsys consistently delivers high-quality IP that supports advanced power-saving standards, enabling us to reduce power consumption in our wireless SoCs. Integrating DesignWare USB 3.0 IP reduced our design risk, accelerated our time-to-market and assured the high performance that our customers expect."

"Success in high-performance USB graphics solutions demands that we deliver SoCs with the most advanced technology on schedule," said John Cummins, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, DisplayLink. "We selected Synopsys DesignWare USB 3.0 IP because we were extremely confident that the IP would deliver the performance, power and area we needed. DisplayLink SoCs that integrate Synopsys USB 3.0 IP are now found in the world's leading manufacturers of docking stations."

"As the leader in USB IP for more than 10 years and with almost 20 years of active participation in the USB-IF, Synopsys' deep knowledge of USB standards enables us to deliver high-quality IP that is proven to reduce integration risk and accelerate time-to-market," said John Koeter, Vice President of Marketing for IP and Prototyping, Synopsys. "With more than 100 million chips deployed with DesignWare USB 3.0 IP, Synopsys continues to help designers incorporate the USB 3.0 functionality needed to deliver higher performance and more cost-effective SoCs."
