Highlights:
- DesignWare IP portfolio for GLOBALFOUNDRIES 12LP FinFET
process includes Multi-Protocol 25G, USB 3.0 and 2.0, PCI Express
2.0, DDR4, LPDDR4/4X, MIPI D-PHY, SD-eMMC, and Data Converters
- Synopsys' DesignWare IP are optimized for high performance and
low latency in compute-intensive applications, such as artificial
intelligence, high-end smartphones, and networking
infrastructure
- Long-standing collaboration between the two companies has
resulted in the successful development of DesignWare IP from 180-nm
to 12-nm
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) today announced its
collaboration with GLOBALFOUNDRIES (GF) to develop a broad
portfolio of DesignWare® IP, including Multi-Protocol
25G, USB 3.0 and 2.0, PCI Express® 2.0, DDR4, LPDDR4/4X,
MIPI D-PHY, SD-eMMC, and Data Converters, for GF's 12-nanometer
(nm) Leading-Performance (12LP) FinFET process technology.
Synopsys' DesignWare IP on the GF 12LP process enables designers to
implement the latest interface and analog IP solutions in their
artificial intelligence (AI), cloud computing, mobile, and consumer
system-on-chips (SoCs) on GF's 12LP technology, which delivers a 10
percent improvement in logic density and more than a 15 percent
improvement in performance compared to previous FinFET generations.
This collaboration is another extension to the long-standing
relationship between the two companies, which has delivered
DesignWare IP for GF's processes from 180-nm to 12-nm.
"In response to growing demand for differentiated, feature-rich
FinFET offerings, we are collaborating with Synopsys to provide
quality IP in GF's processes, enabling designers to deliver
differentiated products to a broad set of market segments," said
Mark Ireland, vice president of
Ecosystem Partnerships at GF. "The combination of our 12LP process
with 3D FinFET transistor technology and Synopsys' high-performance
DesignWare IP allows our mutual customers to accelerate their time
to volume production."
"As the leading provider of interface IP, Synopsys continues to
collaborate with key foundries, such as GF, to deliver DesignWare
IP solutions for the latest FinFET process technologies," said
John Koeter, vice president of
marketing for IP at Synopsys. "With Synopsys' DesignWare IP
portfolio in GF's 12LP process, designers can efficiently integrate
the necessary functionality into their complex SoCs while meeting
the bandwidth and power requirements of their mobile and high-end
computing applications."
Availability
The DesignWare Multi-Protocol 25G PHY and Data Converter IP
solutions are available now. The DesignWare USB 3.0 and 2.0, PCI
Express 2.0, DDR4, LPDDR4/4X, MIPI D-PHY, and SD-eMMC IP solutions
are in development and scheduled to be available in the second half
of 2019.
