Parade approached Synopsys, interested in using the VIP for USB4 host and device router as part of their USB4 retimer DUT verification. Parade’s stringent design requirements prompted them to select a high-quality, high-performance verification IP solution that supports custom requirements. Synopsys Verdi and VIP for HDMI and USB were already being used by Parade, so they knew Synopsys was a trusted provider. With Synopsys’ VIP for USB4, Parade was able to achieve first-test success in less than an hour and tape out their first USB4 retimer DUT in less than one year.
