Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNPS), a global leader providing software, IP and services used to accelerate innovation in chips and electronic systems, today announced that it has reduced the area of USB PHY implementations by up to 50 percent with the new DesignWare® USB femtoPHY IP, minimizing USB PHY silicon footprint and cost for designs in 28-nanometer (nm) and 14/16-nm FinFET processes. The DesignWare USB femtoPHYs have shown robust performance in 28-nm and 14-nm FinFET silicon, enabling designers to implement the IP in advanced process technologies and reduce system-on-chip (SoC) design risk. The DesignWare USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 femtoPHYs are optimized for extremely small area, meeting the stringent requirements of mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, high-volume consumer applications such as digital TVs, storage, and networking applications.
The DesignWare USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 femtoPHY IP (DWC SS USB femtoPHY Samsung 14nm FinFET and DWC HS USB femtoPHY Samsung 14nm FinFET) have passed USB-IF compliance testing in a third-party lab. The DesignWare USB femtoPHYs meet or exceed the USB-IF standard specifications, including 5V tolerance and 3.3V signaling, offering robust performance that benefit system configurations operating across all corners of the specification. The DesignWare USB femtoPHYs support complete USB implementations to provide system architects with a wide range of SoC design options. Both DesignWare USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 femtoPHYs support Hi-Speed, Full-Speed and Low-Speed operation as well as Host, Device and On-the-Go configurations, and the DesignWare USB 3.0 femtoPHY also supports SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0).
"Building on our long history of successfully using DesignWare USB IP, we have achieved first-pass silicon success with the high-quality DesignWare USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 femtoPHY IP," said Dr. Shawn Han, vice president of foundry marketing at Samsung Electronics. "The DesignWare USB femtoPHY IP, manufactured in the Samsung Foundry, is the first 14-nm FinFET silicon to pass USB-IF certification. Integrating a significantly smaller PHY improves the competitiveness of our customers' SoCs and simplifies the addition of USB connectivity. Synopsys' DesignWare femtoPHYs meet high-volume mobile and consumer applications' cost, power, performance and time-to-market requirements, which are critical components for our success in these fast-moving markets."

Synopsys developed the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 femtoPHY IP to enable designers to select the optimal implementation for their application without sacrificing the features or capabilities required for USB compliance certification. Designs requiring high performance can take advantage of the USB 3.0 femtoPHY's 5.0 Gbps data transfer rates per the SuperSpeed USB (USB 3.0) specification. Applications requiring lower performance can implement the USB 2.0 femtoPHY's 480 MHz data transfer rates per the Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) specification. Both DesignWare USB femtoPHYs minimize the number of pins needed on the SoC periphery to further reduce SoC area and cost. Power down features minimize battery drain when the PHY is inactive, while retaining all PHY states to enable fast, accurate power-on capabilities. In addition, the DesignWare USB femtoPHYs support the popular USB Battery Charging v1.2 specification and the USB On-The-Go (OTG) v2.0 protocol.
"As an active member of the USB-IF for more than 18 years, Synopsys continues to develop IP products that ease the integration and adoption of the USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 interfaces," said Jeff Ravencraft, president and COO of the USB Implementers Forum. "USB-IF certification demonstrates that a product meets USB-IF interoperability standards and is compliant with the corresponding USB specification. The availability of Synopsys' new, smaller area DesignWare USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 femtoPHYs gives manufacturers the ability to incorporate this technology into their SoCs."
"SoC designers have relied on Synopsys for USB interfaces in more than 3,000 designs and more than 100 process technologies, making us the leading USB IP provider for more than a decade," said John Koeter, vice president of marketing for IP and prototyping at Synopsys. "Our technical expertise and track record in delivering high-quality IP for advanced process technologies enables designers to integrate IP that reliably meets their stringent application requirements. With the availability of DesignWare USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 femtoPHY IP, backed by FinFET silicon success, we can help our customers meet the industry demand for smaller, cost-effective, high-performance SoCs."

The Federal's pistol slid into its holster and his sabre flashed out. He threw its curved point up in a splendid salute. Ferry saluted with his straight blade. Then both swords rang back into their scabbards, and Jewett whirled away toward his column. For a moment we lingered, then faced to the left, trotted, galloped. Over the fence and into the road went he--went I. Down it, as we crossed, the blue column was just moving again. Then the woods on the south swallowed us up. "All right, sir." that before. Meanwhile the parallelism between Thought and Extension was not exhausted by the identification just analysed. Extension was not only a series of movements; it still remained an expression for co-existence and adjacency.412 Spinoza, therefore, felt himself obliged to supply Thought with a correspondingly continuous quality. It is here that his chief originality lies, here that he has been most closely followed by the philosophy of our own time. Mind, he declares, is an attribute everywhere accompanying matter, co-extensive and co-infinite with space. Our own animation is the sum or the resultant of an animation clinging to every particle that enters into the composition of our bodies. When our thoughts are affected by an external impulse, to suppose that this impulse proceeds from anything material is a delusion; it is produced by the mind belonging to the body which acts on our body; although in what sense this process is to be understood remains a mystery. Spinoza has clearly explained the doctrine of animal automatism, and shown it to be perfectly conceivable;569 but he has entirely omitted to explain how the parallel influence of one thought (or feeling) on another is to be understood; for although this too is spoken of as a causal relation, it seems to be quite different from the logical concatenation described as the infinite intellect of God; and to suppose that idea follows from idea like movement from movement would amount to a complete materialisation of mind; while our philosopher would certainly have repudiated Mr. Shadworth Hodgson’s theory, that states of consciousness are only connected through their extended substratum, as the segments of a mosaic picture are held together by the underlying surface of masonry. Nor can we admit that Spinoza entertained the theory, now so popular, according to which extension and consciousness are merely different aspects of a single reality. For this would imply that the substance which they manifest had an existence of its own apart from its attributes; whereas Spinoza makes it consist of the attributes, that is to say, identifies it with their totality. We are forced, then, to conclude that the proposition declaring thought and extension to be the same thing570 has no413 other meaning than that they are connected by the double analogy which we have endeavoured to explain. “Oh, he’s welcome to it,” Sandy cried. “I’ve turned over a new leaf!” “But—are they?” He pulled a wire out a trifle from the sheath. The sergeant spent more time upon the oaths with which he embellished the counter-question as to how he should know anything about it, than would have been consumed in a civil explanation. "Doctor, he can't die. He mustn't die," said Shorty in agony. "The regiment can't spare him. He's the best soldier in it, and he's my pardner." AND ENTERS UPON HIS PARENTAL RELATIONS TO LITTLE PETE SKIDMORE. "Holy smoke, look there," gasped Monty Scruggs, as a company of rebel cavalry came tearing over the hill in front, to the assistance of their comrades. "That's about it," answered Shorty disdainfully. "That's the way with all cavalry, dad-burn 'em. They're like a passel o' fice pups. They're all yelp and bark, and howl and showin' o' teeth. They're jest goin' to tear you to pieces. But when you pick up a stone or a club, or git ready to give 'em a good kick they're gone, the devil knows where. They're only an aggravation. You never kin do nothin' with 'em, and they kin do nothin' with you. I never kin understand why God Almighty wasted his time in makin' cavalry of any kind, Yank or rebel. All our own cavalry's good for is to steal whisky and chickens from honest soldiers of the infantry. The infantry's the only thing. It's like the big dog that comes up without any special remarks, and sets his teeth in the other dog. The thing only ends when one dog or the other is badly whipped and somethin's bin accomplished." "Mmm." Reuben started out of the half-waking state into which he had fallen. It was late in the afternoon, the sunlight had gone, and a wintry twilight crept up the wall. Maude the dairy-woman was looking in at the door. It was about a month subsequent to this, that one morning, as Turner was making the anvil ring with the ponderous strokes of his hammer, two retainers from the castle entered the shed, and delivered an order from De Boteler for his immediate attendance. Wat laid the hammer on the anvil, and, passing the back of his right hand across his forehead, to clear away the large drops that stood there, looked with a kind of smile at the men as he said, HoME泷泽萝拉四部和集下载
