A Synopsys Case Study
Sunplus IT needed third-party USB IP for a mobile multimedia SoC implemented in 130‑nm to meet an aggressive time‑to‑market window, reduce project risk, ensure USB standards compliance, and let the design team focus on differentiated features. The project required a proven USB 3.0 controller and PHY that could be integrated quickly and reliably.
They chose Synopsys DesignWare USB 3.0 controller and PHY for extensive silicon success, standards certification, IP quality, and a complete solution (controller + PHY + verification). The IP was rated highly differentiated across area, power, performance, standards certification and features, saved 3–5 staff‑months, achieved USB‑IF certification, accelerated the schedule, reduced development cost, and delivered knowledgeable, responsive technical support.
