1. What is an IP subsystem? A: An IP subsystem integrates a variety of proven IP block units and complete software solutions into an integrated design to perform system-level functions such as audio, video, and imaging. The IP subsystem contains interacting hardware and software that are fully optimized, tested, and validated to implement this system-level functionality. 2. What is the DesignWare® SoundWave Audio Subsystem? A: The DesignWare SoundWave Audio Subsystem is a complete, pre-verified audio subsystem solution that integrates hardware, software, and prototyping. Hardware components include 32-bit ARC audio processors, digital I2S and S/PDIF interfaces, and analog audio codecs. The software components include a ready-to-use software environment that can be seamlessly embedded into the main application, and a comprehensive library of software audio codecs that support the latest audio standards from Dolby, DTS, and SRS Labs. The subsystem also includes virtual and FPGA-based prototypes to accelerate software development and verification of the entire system. The SoundWave audio subsystem gives designers a ready-to-use, configurable SoC solution that can be easily integrated into an SoC. 3. How much work does this solution reduce for the designer? A: This solution saves at least two years of work for design integration and verification. These workloads include: verification of application requirements, implementation of hardware/software functionalization, selection and configuration of IP from different vendors, IP integration and development of hardware/software architectures, host interface software development, functionality, integration and performance testing , and SoC design process. 4. How does the DesignWare Audio Subsystem help designers meet the IP integration and software challenges they face today? A: As more and more functions are integrated into one SoC, developing and maintaining the necessary functional modules is costly and time-consuming. These modules are complex and cannot be considered as differentiating technologies. By integrating multiple IP blocks and software into a pre-validated subsystem, Synopsys brings designers a configurable audio solution that is readily available in the SoC, enabling them to quickly implement the requirements of their SoCs. Audio features. This significantly reduces their SoC design and integration workload, reduces design risk, enables them to focus on developing differentiated parts of the application and accelerate time to market. 5. What are the benefits of the DesignWare SoundWave audio subsystem to the customer? A: The SoundWave Audio Subsystem has the following advantages: · Complete, integrated hardware and software solutions that enable "play-to-play" audio capabilities that support the latest audio standards; Single-core and dual-core energy-efficient 32-bit ARC audio processors enable parallel support for multiple high-definition, multi-channel audio streams; A comprehensive library of software audio codecs, including support for the latest audio standards such as Dolby Digital Plus, DTS-HD Master Audio, and TruSurround HD4 from SRSLabs; · Digital audio interfaces such as S/PDIF and I2S provide multichannel input and output; Analog audio codec provides high-quality connections for line output and input, microphones, speakers, and headphones with 96 dB of dynamic range; · Virtual and FPGA-based prototyping accelerates software development and verification of the entire system; Complete software solutions are available immediately and can be seamlessly embedded into the main application. This includes an integrated media streaming framework with built-in decoders, encoders, and audio post-processing capabilities. Audio post-processing functions include volume control, equalization, surround balancing, and real-time operating systems, and all software is connected to them. Also includes audio plug-ins based on industry-standard GStreamer multimedia software, enabling developers to quickly integrate audio subsystem software into their main application software; Easy-to-use configuration tools allow a complete audio subsystem to be configured in hours rather than weeks; Flexible buffer architecture eliminates the need for additional direct memory access (DMA) IP; · Provides SoC integration services to help implement and optimize subsystems throughout the chip environment. 6. What makes this IP product unique? A. Synopsys is the only company that can provide a complete solution for the audio IP subsystem. The subsystem includes dedicated hardware, a complete integrated software environment, virtual and FPGA prototypes, and a configuration tool. Other solutions on the market are not complete subsystem solutions, requiring users to identify missing components, such as hardware and software, and then artificially add them. Users also need to experience the entire time-consuming system debugging and verification process. This gives their customers a significant increase in cost, time and risk. The SoundWave Audio Subsystem is a complete, pre-integrated, and proven solution that includes all the necessary audio features (hardware and software), saving at least two years of design integration and verification workload time. Customers now have a supplier who can provide a complete set of audio solutions. 7. How important is software for the SoundWave Audio Subsystem? A: Software is a differentiating factor. Typically, companies that develop SoCs spend more time on software than hardware, and this difference will continue to widen as product complexity increases. By providing a complete audio subsystem with built-in and proven software, Synopsys enables customers to focus their resources on other, more critical elements of their design. 8. Can this subsystem be configured for customer's special design requirements? Is the configuration expected or necessary? A: Because there is no universal audio design, we can enable customers to fully configure the subsystem. You can configure the following by using the Synopsys coreAssembler tool: Number of digital interfaces (I2S and S/PDIF) and their parameters Number of interfaces connected to analog IP and their parameters · ARC audio processor configuration options (including the size of the cache) Required software components (decoders, encoders and post-processing functions) · Clock Management Options · Reset management options 9. Is this audio IP subsystem suitable for standard SoC hardware/software integration processes? A: Yes, by complying with industry interface standards such as AMBA AXI and AHB, and GStreamer software standards for Linux and Android, while also complying with the specifications provided by the Synopsys design and verification tools, we will help ensure compatibility with existing hardware and Easy integration between software design flows. 10. What is the SoundWave Audio Subsystem price? A: Synopsys' policy is not to disclose our pricing. This is attributed to the different needs of the different business models of our IP customers. We will provide each customer with tailor-made quotes. 11. Do you have a customer using the SoundWave Audio Subsystem? A: We are currently negotiating with early customers, but we cannot disclose any specific details at this time due to confidentiality.
