DesignWare IP for Smart Appliance Applications
Overview
The next generation of appliances will provide features such as wireless connectivity and richer user interfaces. Imagine being able to text your appliance or pre-heat your oven and monitor its progress wirelessly. As the market moves toward "smart homes", manufacturers of major appliances are bringing additional value by connecting these appliances to the smart grid.
Developing SoCs for these smart appliances requires IP solutions that deliver a strong combination of low power, high performance and efficient processing.
