For SoCs supplied by Lithium-Ion or Alkaline batteries, the actual voltage ranges from 4.4 V in their life, down to 2.0 V over time. They empower IoT devices, which are most of the time put in sleep mode in order to extend their battery life, requiring ultra low voltage supplies for their Always-on and retention […]

In order to meet the long battery-life requirements in the growing market of IoT devices, energy saving becomes a paramount concern, specifically the reduction of static power consumption when devices spend up to 99.9 % of the time in an inactive mode. The RISC-351 Zephyr-RR is an energy efficient 32-bit microcontroller core that enables achieving ultra-low

Many fabless companies compete for the attractive market of IoT, questing after the most innovative products and design flows to combine performance and power savings. While it is common to optimize the different loads (power domains), it is worth noting that a significant amount of power can be wasted in an inappropriate assembly of voltage

IoT and wearable devices have added to the challenge of reduction of BoM cost and silicon area that of changing the principles of voltage regulators to the point that their efficiency is no longer the major criteria. Embedding features such as the Power Management Network (PMNet) in a SoC demands going further in the quest

Dolphin Integration is pleased to announce the launch of its ultra-low quiescent-current linear regulator dedicated to supplying Always-on power domains. The growing IoT market induces very specific “must have” features for smart and connected devices: they operate most of the time in sleep mode, during which only the always-on part of the circuit is still

For the second year in a row, Dolphin Integration has been honored with TSMC’s Open Innovation Platform award for Specialty IPs, rewarding once again the low-power Foundation IP in specific More-than-Moore process variants developed in partnership with TSMC. TSMC selects the winners for the partner award based on customers’ feedback, the number of tape-outs and

Dolphin Integration announces the availability of its new SmartCC80251 compiler for its 80251 microcontrollers. Users may benefit from a free upgrade to this state-of-the-art compiler and join a truly innovative 80251 ecosystem. Low-power microcontrollers, a state-of-the-art compiler toolchain with an innovative Interactive Development Environment (IDE) guarantee the lasting growth of the i51 legacy. Key benefits

Reducing the cost of Bill-of-Material (BoM) remains SoC Integrators’ vital challenge for IoT applications, while minimizing power consumption demands the acute complexity of mode control for Dynamic Voltage and Frequency "Stepping" (DVFS). External capacitors and their associated pins are the first target for BoM reduction, up to the ultimate solution provided by capless regulators. To
