"As the leading supplier of SoCs for femtocells and small-cell base stations, we rely on Synopsys, a trusted IP vendor, to provide us with a high-quality DDR IP solution that further helps us differentiate our products in the market," said Will Robbins, vice-president of Silicon, Tools and Platforms at Picochip. "Synopsys' continued advancements in DDR IP allow us to reliably develop high-performance memory systems that are optimized for both throughput and latency."
"Synopsys is continually improving the performance and features of our DDR memory controller solutions," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP and Systems at Synopsys. "By combining the best features of the previous-generation DesignWare Universal DDR memory controller with the best features of the Intelli(TM) architecture acquired from Virage Logic, we are able to significantly decrease the latency and improve throughput in this generation. With a proven track record of more than 250 DDR IP design wins amongst more than 200 customers, Synopsys offers designers a low-risk path to silicon success."
