Smartphone SoC achieves first-pass silicon success
Using Synopsys' DesignWare MIPI D-PHY and DSI Host Controller IP, the application processor SoC from Leadcore Technology has achieved first-pass silicon success. By using the DesignWare MIPI IP, Leadcore met their area and power requirements for the INNOPOWER LC1810 SoC and delivered production-ready designs four months ahead of schedule.
The DesignWare MIPI IP supports multiple D-PHY configurations, enabling designers to reduce overall system cost and extend the battery life of their mobile device designs. Compliant to the MIPI D-PHY interface, the DesignWare MIPI D-PHY supports up to 1.5Gb/s and is configurable for host or device applications. Through a rich feature set, the DesignWare MIPI DSI Host Controller enables designers to easily incorporate display subsystems into mobile devices through a standard DSI interface.
"With the tight time-to-market windows in the mobile market, we needed an established IP supplier that would provide high-quality and reliable solutions," said Dijun Liu, Vice President, Leadcore Technology. "We successfully integrated the DesignWare MIPI IP into our design within two weeks, letting us focus our efforts on the differentiating portions of our design. The DesignWare IP helped us meet our project schedule and improved our product's time-to-market. We fulfilled our customer's requirements by using DesignWare IP from Synopsys."
"As the mobile market is highly competitive and extremely fast-paced, companies like Leadcore must minimise their project schedules to get to market quickly," said John Koeter, Vice President of Marketing for IP and Prototyping, Synopsys. "Synopsys is committed to providing high-quality IP solutions that deliver the area, power and performance that our customers need to win in competitive markets."
