FemtoPHY IP reduces area by up to 50%
The area ofUSB PHY implementations has been reduced by up to 50% usingDesignWare USB femtoPHY IP from Synopsys. MinimisingUSB PHY silicon footprint and cost for designs in 28nm and 14/16nm FinFET processes, theDesignWare USB femtoPHYs enabledesigners to implement the IP in advanced process technologies and reduce SoC design risk.
Case study explains IJTAG embedded instruments standard
ASSET InterTech and Synopsys have collaborated on a proof-of-concept case study demonstrating the viability of an IJTAG tools ecosystem. Tools are needed to insert and synthesise IEEE P1687 IJTAG embedded instruments into chips and then access those instruments to operate them for circuit board test purposes.
Software speeds time to first prototype by 3X
Synopsys has announced the availability of Synopsys' ProtoCompiler softwarefor Synopsys' HAPS FPGA-based prototyping systems.ProtoCompiler is an integrated prototyping tool set with built-in HAPS hardware knowledge, which enables the rapid bring-up of a prototype up to 3X faster than existing prototyping flows. ProtoCompiler also enables more efficient prototyping with HAPS by providing an automated partitioning engine, integrated debug support a...
