To improve power conservation in next generation portable electronics applications, the DesignWare Wireless USB Device IP provides optimised power management functions with dual power rails.
This allows the design to shut down power to sections that are not in use, thus lowering overall power consumption.
In order to satisfy IP designers' complete protocol requirements, Synopsys offers a comprehensive Wireless USB IP portfolio including the device, WHCI host and dual role device.
"It is great to see companies like Synopsys, which have been longtime supporters of USB technologies, be among the first to achieve Wireless USB certification for their DesignWare Wireless USB Device IP", says Jeff Ravencraft, USB-IF President.
"The availability of certified IP is an important milestone in the industry and offers solutions for companies looking to develop high quality, interoperable products and get them to market quickly".
"Our customers continually tell us that high quality and interoperability are key elements in helping them achieve product success and reduce time to market", says John Koeter, Group Director for IP Marketing at Synopsys.
"Certification is a very important part of the interoperability process, which is why we continue to provide designers with the most certified USB IP in the world".
"As the Certified Wireless USB standard continues to mature, designers can depend on Synopsys to provide them with this critical IP".
