Overview
The Synopsys USB 2.0 nanoPHY provides designers with a complete Physical Layer (PHY) IP solution, designed for low-power mobile and consumer applications such as feature-rich smartphones, digital cameras, and portable audio/video players. The Synopsys USB 2.0 nanoPHY IP delivers a low-power, small-area solution for longer battery life and lower silicon cost. Designed for high yield, the Synopsys USB 2.0 nanoPHY implements architectural features that make it less sensitive to variations in foundry process, device models, package and board parasitics. The Synopsys USB 2.0 nanoPHY builds on years of success with Synopsys’ silicon-proven USB 2.0 PHY IP product line, which has been ported to more than 70 process node and configuration combinations. When combined with the Synopsys Controller IP and VC Verification IP, the Synopsys USB 2.0 nanoPHY delivers a complete solution for low-power, area-efficient system-on-chip (SoC) designs.

Model authoring kits (MAKs) enable the rapid development of transaction-level models, TLMs, of a given functionality or protocol. MAKs include base functionalities that are common to all models independent of the RTL implementation in a well-structured way, allowing for maximum reuse. The DesignWare System-Level Library provides MAKs for UART and USB. Taking the example of a USB 2.0 EHCI controller model using MAKs, this paper explains the significant design time reduction that can be achieved.
This article discusses the road to achieving compliance and the role that Synopsys DesignWare Intellectual Property (IP) for PCI Express can play in helping to achieve interoperability and compliance
Using complete, integrated DDR2 SDRAM memory physical interface IP solutions can significantly reduce the risks associated with combining discrete memory subsystem blocks, such as interoperability and schedule. Packaged as a complete, integrated place-and
Discover Synopsys’ first complete UFS 5.0 and M‑PHY v6.0 IP solution for high-speed, efficient storage in mobile, automotive, and AI-enabled systems.
Synopsys continues to lead innovation with the industry’s first commercially available CXL 4.0 Verification IP (VIP). This comprehensive solution supports the full 128 GT/s data rate, IO throttling, and streamlined port negotiation, equipping designers to validate and optimize their products for the future.
In our current work, we focus on the low power analysis and verification challenges and the methodology used to verify low power design. The power-gating feature that we term Hibernation brings in significant power savings to Synopsys SSIC IP Controller. The verification tests the functionality of the Controller before, during and after hibernation state. The low power analysis will showcase the power savings achieved in SSIC IP with and Without Hibernation.
