DesignWare USB 3.0 Controller and PHY IP, manufactured by Synopsys, has shipped more than 100m production SoCs used in mobile computing, digital home and cloud computing applications. The DesignWare USB 3.0 Controller and PHY IP has been integrated into the SoCs of products from more than 60 companies, including Microsoft's XBOX One.

Synopsys' solution, which includes controllers, PHYs, verification IP, IP Prototyping Kits and IP Virtual Development Kits, is claimed to reduce design risk and accelerate IP prototyping, software development and integration. The DesignWare USB 3.0 Controller and PHY IP has also been certified by the USB-IF more than 80 times, making it interoperable with many USB-enabled devices worldwide. While enabling 5.0 Gbps SuperSpeed USB data transfer rates, the solution lowers overall power consumption for mobile SoC designs. Supporting all leading foundries, the DesignWare USB 3.0 and PHY IP is available for more than 25 process technologies from 130-nm to 14/16-nm FinFET.

"Based on a long history of close collaboration with Synopsys, we have shipped hundreds of millions of products that incorporate Synopsys' DesignWare USB 2.0 and 3.0 IP. In the last year alone, tens of millions of units were shipped globally," said Sanghyun Lee, Vice President of Digital IP Development team, System LSI Business, Samsung Electronics. "By using Synopsys' DesignWare USB 3.0 IP, Samsung can deliver leading SoC products to our customers."

"Our SoCs for digital home, networking and WiFi applications ship in very high volumes, so we need high-quality, highly reliable USB 3.0 IP to help ensure our success," said Yee-Wei Huang, Vice President and Spokesman, Realtek. "We chose DesignWare USB 3.0 IP because Synopsys has a track record of delivering certified IP that has undergone extensive third-party interoperability testing. Synopsys consistently delivers high-quality IP that supports advanced power-saving standards, enabling us to reduce power consumption in our wireless SoCs. Integrating DesignWare USB 3.0 IP reduced our design risk, accelerated our time-to-market and assured the high performance that our customers expect."

"Success in high-performance USB graphics solutions demands that we deliver SoCs with the most advanced technology on schedule," said John Cummins, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Marketing, DisplayLink. "We selected Synopsys DesignWare USB 3.0 IP because we were extremely confident that the IP would deliver the performance, power and area we needed. DisplayLink SoCs that integrate Synopsys USB 3.0 IP are now found in the world's leading manufacturers of docking stations."
