DesignWare Audio IP Solutions 

Overview 

Audio processing is essential to delivering the best audio capabilities for cost and power-sensitive electronic applications such as mobile phones, MP3 players and set-top boxes. For high-end products, such as digital TV and smart phones, integrating high-fidelity (Hi-Fi) audio capabilities is critical to adding value and differentiating products from the competition.

High-end audio functions have previously only been available as standalone chips, or discrete, non-optimized analog IP components. This resulted in integration barriers, increased risk, cost and time-to-market schedules. With more than 15 years of delivering proven analog IP products, Synopsys’ offers a robust audio IP solution that delivers performance levels similar to discrete components and eases the integration effort of audio IP into embedded SoC designs for mobile multimedia applications.

As the leading provider of analog IP, Synopsys offers a comprehensive, silicon-proven portfolio of audio IP solutions ranging from compact, low-power Hi-Fi to advanced audio IP products, which incorporate unique POP suppression techniques to help deliver superior audio quality. Synopsys’ DesignWare® Audio IP solutions offer flexible configurations that enable designers to easily incorporate the necessary audio functions into their SoCs, while achieving the performance, power and area requirements. The DesignWare Audio IP has shipped in over 100M ICs and support a wide range of foundry process technologies from 180-nm to 40-nm, enabling designers to reduce integration risk.
