DesignWare IP for Smart Home Applications
Overview
Wearable devices bring technology into our everyday lives by enhancing the functionality of things such as glasses, shoes, and watches that deliver real-time feedback. These devices will play a major role in the expansion of our connected world but designing SoCs that go into these devices comes with significant design challenges such as how to extend battery life, minimize area and improve sensory components (i.e. touch, voice, audio and video).
Efficient data processing will be at the heart of these solutions and Synopsys' broad DesignWare® IP portfolio is optimized to tackle these SoC design challenges.
