 Solving the Integration Challenges of USB-Enabled Designs |
Today’s IP choices for the Universal Serial Bus (USB) cover many different types of interfaces for use in
a wide variety of applications—including portable consumer products. Power consumption and small form
factors are thus key issues. SoC designers must also consider new requirements imposed by smaller technology
nodes, especially for the USB PHY. This paper provides insights into dealing with these issues and
profiles the USB IP choices available from Synopsys.

| Enabling Rapid Adoption of the AMBA 3 AXI Protocol-based Designs |
To successfully develop an AMBA™ 3 AXI™ protocol-based design in the shortest time requires a comprehensive set of synthesizable IP, verification IP and an automated method to assemble the entire SoC subsystem. The AMBA 3 Advanced eXtensible Interface (AXI) protocol builds on the benefits of the AMBA 2.0 standard offering greater performance and flexibility.

| Designing Using the AMBA 3 AXI Protocol |
The need for higher performance applications is driving the requirement for a new age of on-chip communication infrastructure. Increasing the clock frequency no longer addresses this higher performance requirement, as the bottleneck is inherent in the existing bus infrastructure.

| Coding Guidelines for Datapath Synthesis |
This document summarizes two classes of RTL coding guidelines for the synthesis of datapaths: Guidelines that help achieve functional correctness and intended behavior of arithmetic expressions in RTL code. Guidelines that help datapath synthesis to achieve best possible QoR (Quality of Results).
