The DesignWare® SoundWave Audio Subsystem provides designers with a complete, pre-verified audio subsystem consisting of hardware, software and prototyping for integration into system-on-chip (SoC) designs. Supporting 2.1 to 7.1 audio streams at 24-bit precision, the SoundWave Audio Subsystem meets the demanding performance requirements of today’s audio applications such as digital TVs, set-top boxes, Blu-ray™ Disc, speaker bars, media players, portable audio and tablets.
The SoundWave Audio Subsystem consists of DesignWare 32-bit ARC® audio processors, standard digital interfaces, analog audio codecs, and a complete, ready-to-use software environment that seamlessly plugs into the host application and includes a comprehensive library of software audio codecs that support the latest formats from Dolby, DTS and SRS. The SoundWave Audio Subsystem includes both virtual and FPGA-based prototypes to accelerate software development and validation of the full system. By integrating multiple IP blocks together with software in a pre-verified subsystem, Synopsys gives designers a configurable, SoC-ready audio solution that significantly reduces their SoC design and integration effort, lowers design risk and accelerates time-to-market.
