Case Study: Rockchip Achieves First-Pass Silicon Success and Faster Time-to-Market with Synopsys DesignWare USB, HDMI & MIPI IP

Rockchip Achieves First-Pass Silicon Success for Mobile Application Processor SoC with DesignWare USB, HDMI & MIPI IP

Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics, a leading Chinese fabless semiconductor company that designs mobile application processor SoCs for Android tablets, smart TVs and other consumer devices, faced the challenge of delivering a low-power, high-performance SoC on an aggressive time-to-market schedule while minimizing integration risk across USB, HDMI and MIPI interfaces.

Rockchip integrated Synopsys DesignWare USB, HDMI and MIPI PHY and controller IP, gaining silicon-proven, high-performance interfaces and expert technical support. The approach reduced integration and interoperability risk, met stringent power and performance targets, accelerated tapeout by months, and delivered first-pass silicon success—enabling Rockchip to focus on core SoC innovation and plan future DesignWare integrations.
