Case Study: Hisense achieves first-pass silicon success and faster time-to-market with Synopsys DesignWare IP

Hisense - Customer Case Study

Hisense, integrating USB into a digital‑home SoC (set‑top box/DVD/DTV/residential gateway), needed third‑party USB IP to meet an aggressive time‑to‑market window, hit tight performance, power and area targets, and reduce project risk.

They implemented Synopsys DesignWare USB 2.0 controller and PHY on 55 nm, chosen for IP quality, completeness (controller + PHY + verification), process‑node availability and prior experience. Synopsys was rated “differentiated” across area, power, performance, features and ease of integration (and “highly differentiated” for completeness), enabling first‑pass silicon success, faster development, lower costs and responsive technical support.
