Providing reference design solution for a DVD+RW: Faster, better and at a lower cost
 
 
The customer
European semiconductor giant aiming to enter the NAFTA DVD market.
 
The challenge
To provide reference design solution for the NAFTA DVD + RW market using chips from the vendor with a competitive product cost while developing the decoder ASIC and reference solution in parallel.
 
The solution

Wipro took total hardware ownership across design, development and testing of the power supply board, digital & analog board and front panel board meeting component cost requirements of the customer.

Wipro was also responsible for thermal analysis, mechanical cabinet modifications, diagnostics software development, support for system integration and pre-compliance tests (EMI/EMC, ESD, audio/video performance checks etc.).

COGS target was achieved by doing discrete design for power supply circuit, selection of low cost components and reducing the number of layers of PCB.

 
Measurable business benefits
Competitive product cost: Working backwards from the target price of the unit, Wipro provided a solution that was not only within expected unit costs of the client but also very competitive
Time to market advantage: With reducing product lifecycles, time-to-market has become critical to generate profits. Using its superior quality processes Wipro crashed the development time to four months, providing the client a significant competitive advantage
Complete ownership: Wipro took the complete ownership from design to product introduction, mitigating the risk associated with multiple vendors
