DEMO DESCRIPTIONS:

• USB 3.1 IP Technology Demonstration
  Synopsys will show 10 Gbps transfers over USB 3.1 using the Synopsys USB 3.1 Device and Host controller IP on Synopsys' HAPS® FPGA-based prototyping platforms.
• DesignWare USB 3.0 femtoPHY IP on 14-/16-nm FinFET Processes
  With up to 50% smaller die area and low power optimization, the DesignWare USB femtoPHY IP minimizes USB PHY silicon cost while extending battery life. The demonstration shows the femtoPHYs' margin in a 14-/16- FinFET process.
• DesignWare USB 3.0 SSIC Host and Device IP with MIPI M-PHY
  USB 3.0 SuperSpeed InterChip (SSIC) uses USB 3.0 protocols and the low power MIPI M-PHY for connecting WiFi and modem chips to mobile application processors to reduce power consumption by up to 67% in mobile devices. The demonstration shows theDesignWare USB 3.0 SSIC Host with MIPI M-PHY transferring data to a USB 3.0 Device with MIPI M-PHY on Synopsys' HAPS FPGA-based prototyping platform.
• DesignWare PCI Express 4.0 Controller IP
  Synopsys will demonstrate the industry's first PCI Express 4.0 Controller IP. The demonstration shows how to easily configure the DesignWare PCIe 4.0 IP for specific SoC requirements, including 16 Gbps data rates.
• DesignWare PHY IP for PCI Express at 16 Gbps
  Synopsys will demonstrate DesignWare PHY IP for PCI Express running at 16 Gbps. The 28-nm test chip includes four channels of high-speed 16 Gbps SerDes that are accessible through a Graphic User Interface for PHY configuration setup and performance monitoring.
