DesignWare IP for Data Center and Network Infrastructure 

Market Overview 

The increased bandwidth demand for data center and network infrastructure resources is creating high-growth opportunities in these markets. As next-generation systems move towards multi-terabit data processing, it is driving the need for high-performance processing in server farms. Furthermore, the continuing rise of internet traffic is resulting in the development of high-throughput data and telecommunications network systems. Designers building integrated circuits (ICs) for these applications need a combination of high-performance and power-efficient IP solutions to help deliver total system throughput and meet the quality-of-service requirements.

 

DesignWare IP for Data Center and Network Infrastructure
Synopsys provides a comprehensive portfolio of high quality IP that enables designers to develop SoCs for applications such as server blades, storage networks and Core/Edge networks. The high performance DesignWare IP solutions consisting of digital controllers, mixed-signal PHYs and verification IP help designers deploy power efficient ICs with low risk and improved time-to-market.

IP Highlights
  • High-performance IP such as PCI Express 2.0 operating at 5.0 Gbps, and DDR IP operating at speeds up to 1600 Mbps
