Case Study: Lantiq achieves 300 Mbps bonded VDSL2 home gateway performance with Synopsys DesignWare PCI Express 2.0 IP

Lantiq Meets Aggressive Performance Targets for 300 Mbps Bonded VDSL2 Home Gateway SoCs with DesignWare IP for PCI Express 2.0

Lantiq, a global supplier of broadband access and home‑networking semiconductors, faced the challenge of delivering a next‑generation home gateway SoC that could sustain 300 Mbps aggregated throughput in bonded VDSL2 applications while meeting a tight time‑to‑market, minimizing integration and interoperability risk, and reducing embedded software and firmware effort.

Lantiq selected Synopsys DesignWare Controller IP for PCI Express 2.0—with integrated eDMA—and relied on Synopsys’ silicon‑proven IP and responsive technical support for tight integration and tapeout. The solution enabled Lantiq to achieve the 300 Mbps performance target, accelerate tapeout and product launch, reduce integration risk, and realize successful silicon bring‑up.
