As mentioned previously in Building a Point and Shoot Camera to Compete with Smart Phones – Part 1, any Camera built today really, really needs wireless connectivity. Basically, they need a SmartPhone without the Phone. You might get away with a WiFi only device. In this case, you want the WiFi device to use SSIC […]

World’s First USB 3.0 SSIC Demonstration with a MIPI M-PHY Yes, we actually showed the first one about 2 months ago where we showed compliance, but we thought you should see an actual application operating. As a reminder, SSIC is: Super Speed Interchip For on PCB use of USB 3.0 protocol standards Supports only USB […]

I’m proud to report Synopsys is the first and only company to demonstrate a real USB 3.0 Host and USB 3.0 Device working with a real MIPI M-PHY and not only demonstrating traffic, but demonstrating how we can pass the tests run by the standard USB Compliance Verifier (USBCV) 3.0. Before we begin, remember that SSIC […]

Synopsys worked with the USB-IF SSIC Working Group to develop a SSIC Proof of Concept demonstration. The USB-IF has been working on SSIC for some time. This Proof of Concept in FPGA is to test the SSIC specification version 0.90 to see if it actually works in hardware. It worked (mostly). We learned, […]

Tomorrow, I should be posting something of interest to you on SuperSpeed Interchip (SSIC). If all goes well. SuperSpeed Interchip (SSIC) brings USB 3.0 from outside the PC to on the PCB to use USB 3.0 between chips. It allows you to reuse your USB 3.0 software drivers and take advantage of […]

Eric started working on USB in 1995, starting with the world’s first BIOS that supported USB Keyboards and Mice while at Award Software. After a departure into embedded systems software for real-time operating systems, he returned to USB IP cores and software at inSilicon, one of the leading suppliers of USB IP. In 2002, inSilicon was acquired by Synopsys and he’s been here since. He also served as Chairman of the USB On-The-Go Working Group for the USB Implementers Forum from 2004-2006. 
Michael (Mick) Posner joined Synopsys in 1994 and is currently Director of Product Marketing for Synopsys' DesignWare USB Solutions. Previously, he was the Director of Product Marketing for Physical (FPGA-based) Prototyping and has held various product marketing, technical marketing manager and application consultant positions at Synopsys. He holds a Bachelor Degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the University of Brighton, England.
