Case Study: Peraso achieves first-pass silicon success and 3-6 month development acceleration with Synopsys DesignWare IP & Services

Peraso Achieves First-Pass Silicon Success for 60 GHz WiGig Baseband SoC with DesignWare IP & Services

Peraso, a Toronto-based fabless semiconductor company, develops 60 GHz WiGig chipsets and needed first-pass silicon success for its PRS4000 baseband SoC to compete in mobile and high‑speed wireless markets. The team faced a new ASIC design flow with multiple IP cores, third‑party and custom analog front ends, limited integration resources, and the need to accelerate software development and system verification before silicon availability.

Synopsys supplied proven DesignWare IP (ARC 605 processor, USB 3.0 controller and PHY, AMBA interconnect), HAPS FPGA prototyping, Virtualizer virtual prototyping, and Professional Services to bridge integration gaps and set up verification environments. The combined solution delivered first‑pass silicon success, cut development time by 3–6 months, reduced integration risk, and provided responsive technical support — enabling Peraso to move quickly into next‑generation product development.
