IP certified for Hi-Speed USB
The DesignWare USB 2.0 Multiport Host and PHY have become the first host IP building blocks to achieve Hi-Speed certification from the USB Implementers Forum.
Interface IP eases USB 2.0 integration
New USB 2.0 PHY IP is tailored specifically for low power consumption, small area and high yield.
The DesignWare USB 2.0 nanoPHY IP suits a broad range of high-volume, mobile and consumer applications where the key requirements include minimal area and low power consumption.
This IP addresses these key requirements by implementing an architecture that provides a highly effective combination of small area, low power consumption and minimal leakage.
In addition, the DesignWare USB 2.0 nanoPHY IP has built-in tuning circuits that enable quick, post-silicon adjustments to account for unexpected chip/board parasitics or process variations without the need to modify the existing design.
This feature allows designers to increase yield and minimise the cost of expensive silicon re-spins.
The DesignWare USB 2.0 nanoPHY is part of the complete USB 2.0 IP solution from Synopsys, which includes the USB 2.0 digital controllers, PHY and verification IP.
Synopsys offers a portfolio of USB IP for 180, 130, 90, 65 and 45nm process technologies.
The DesignWare USB IP products have been certified in hundreds of USB applications and are shipping in high-volume production.
