Case Study: HiSilicon Technologies Co. Ltd achieves first-pass silicon success and lowers integration risk with Synopsys DesignWare USB 2.0 PHY IP

HiSilicon Technologies Co. Ltd - Customer Case Study

Hisilicon Technologies, a leading Chinese IC design company and former ASIC Design Center of Huawei, needed to hit aggressive time-to-market targets while meeting strict performance, area and power requirements for its Hi3560 network media processor. The team’s primary challenges were lowering integration risk and ensuring the design would meet performance and schedule goals.

Hisilicon selected Synopsys’ silicon-proven DesignWare USB 2.0 PHY IP—USB-IF logo certified in SMIC’s 130 nm process—for its small area, low power and high-yield characteristics. With strong post‑sales support that saved weeks of development time, the IP delivered first‑pass silicon success, reduced integration risk and enabled Hisilicon to meet its project schedule.
