Case Study: eRide achieves first-pass silicon success and fast time-to-market with Synopsys' DesignWare IP for the AMBA Interconnect

eRide Achieves First-Pass Silicon Success for High-Sensitivity GPS SoC with DesignWare IP for the AMBA Interconnect

eRide, a fabless semiconductor company and Furuno subsidiary, develops high-sensitivity A‑GPS solutions and built the Opus5SD GPS/AGPS SoC to deliver fast, accurate positioning in challenging environments. With a small engineering team and an aggressive six‑month time‑to‑market target, eRide needed a proven, easily configurable AMBA interconnect IP that required no customization and minimized integration risk.

eRide selected Synopsys DesignWare IP for the AMBA interconnect, using its configurable architecture and coreAssembler tool to integrate the subsystem in weeks. Backed by strong documentation and responsive support, the IP enabled first‑pass silicon success, kept the project on schedule, and let eRide focus internal resources on product differentiation.
