Overview

The USB4 PHY IP provides designers with the industry's best combination of small area and low power with support for the leading process technologies such as 5nm FinFET. The USB4 PHYs use a single efficient GDSII design that supports 40 Gbps, 20 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 5 Gbps data rates.

The USB4 IP is designed to meet the functionality, power, performance, and area requirements of a broad range of storage, PC, and tablet SoC designs as well as software development debug and easy deployment of artificial intelligence (AI) applications at the edge.

The USB IP has shipped in billions of units for leading electronics companies worldwide. Using the USB IP significantly reduces development time and engineering risk, helping designers to bring USB-based SoCs to market faster.

The USB IP is the most certified IP solution in the industry. As the leading provider of USB IP for nearly two decades, the vendor is enabling designers to lower the risk and adoption barrier of integrating USB4 functionality into their SoCs.

UFS Goes Mainstream

UniversalFlash Storage (UFS) was created for mobile applications and computer systems requiring high performance and low power consumption. These systems typically use embedded Flash based on the JEDEC standard eMMC. UFS was defined by JEDEC as the evolutionary replacement for eMMC offering significantly higher memory bandwidth. The standard builds on existing standards such as the SCSI command set, the MIPI Alliance M-PHY and UniPro as well as eMMC form factors to simplify adoption and development.

Design IP Faster: Introducing the C~ High-Level Language

In this paper, we introduce a new high-level, dataflow programming language called C~ (“C flow”) that further increases productivity by raising the level of abstraction from behavioral descriptions, while overcoming the limitations of C for hardware design. We present the syntax and semantics of this language, and the framework that provides hardware and software code generation. This paper illustrates the benefits of using C~ for hardware design of a IEEE 802.3 MAC, synthesized for FPGA and for 90nm CMOS technology.

Can MIPI and MDDI Co-Exist?

Since MIPI and MDDI standards both target interfaces to cameras and displays on mobile devices, are two separate standards really needed?
