Case Study: Parrot achieves first-pass silicon success and faster time-to-market with Synopsys DesignWare Audio Analog Codec and USB 2.0 IP

Parrot Achieves First-Pass Silicon Success with Synopsys DesignWare Audio Analog Codec and USB 2.0 IP

Parrot, a global leader in wireless and audio devices best known for its Zik Bluetooth noise‑cancelling headphones, needed to combine analog and digital functionality on a single custom ASIC to lower product costs, reduce integration risk, and meet aggressive consumer market timelines.

Parrot integrated Synopsys DesignWare Audio Analog Codec and USB 2.0 IP (PHY and controller), using silicon‑proven IP and thorough documentation/support; the result was first‑pass silicon success, an estimated savings of at least 12 staff‑months, reduced integration risk, and faster time to market.
