Eager to address the low-power challenge of IoT markets, most IP providers neglect the needed complements for dealing with the sensitive analog parts, necessarily embedded on Systems-on-Chip targeting connected devices. Dolphin Integration rolls-out the nLR-Charny, latest generation of Low-Noise Linear Regulator, upgraded to help System-on-Chip integrators to secure the operations of RF blocks. It meets […]

IoT market expected to grow from almost $9B in 2014 to $43B by 2020; 25B devices connected to the internet in 2015 with nearly 50B expected by 2020 TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, and Dolphin Integration, a leading provider of Silicon IP, today announced the signing of an MoU to provide a complete solution

Embedding the Power Management Network (PMNet) in Systems-on-Chip (SoC) is mandatory for optimizing circuits towards reduction of both BoM and power consumption. In the same manner as for standard cell libraries, Dolphin Integration proposes the Reusable Power Kit Library (RPKL), a complete library of embedded voltage regulators structured per a standard, namely DELTA, resulting in

Shorter Time-to-Market, optimized performance, easier debug: such requirements cannot be addressed with the only choice of silicon IPs. Providing a suitable development environment is primordial for meeting with such improvements and allowing SoC optimization. Software developers need innovative solutions to replace obsolete Development Environments of the eighties: here comes SmartVision™, the state-of-the-art IDE (Integrated Development

For the sake of preserving programmer’s habits, market of microcontroller cores is making it difficult for Fabless suppliers to provide game-changing innovations. Solutions for application specific optimizations need to be found for each System-on-Chip, while embedding identical microcontroller cores does not help. The search for programmers productivity improvements is stalled. The risk for Fabless suppliers

The growing popularity of smartphone and DTV applications with 4K displays translates into demand for a new generation of portable displays featuring high resolution and excellent power performance. The TSMC 55nm HV process provides an efficient infrastructure to design cost-effective and low-power display drivers. Based on this technology, Dolphin Integration continues to strengthen its leading

While a lot of small connected devices, such as wireless headsets, wearable devices, connected bracelets or smart watches, require low-power optimization. Dolphin Integration directly addresses low-capacity Li-Ion or Li-Po batteries with its new low-power battery charger. Indeed, the BC-Livingstone.01 can charge a single-cell battery from all kinds of USB adapters with a maximum current of

The recent availability of easy-to-use “Power Island Construction Kits”, giving a new degree of freedom, together with the choice of a small number of “Interfaces for the Distribution of Power”, enables SoC integrators to select their performance trade-offs at system level instead of benchmarking individual voltage regulators. Thanks to the DELTA standard, Dolphin Integration’s Reusable

While voice activity detection is considered as a must-have for a growing range of applications such as wearable devices or smart home appliances, Dolphin Integration innovates with the stand-alone WhisperTrigger™. Whereas the voice detection function is usually handled by a DSP or a voice processor, it now becomes possible to leave the rest of the

Fabless suppliers providing multimedia Systems-on-Chip (SoC) for Set-Top-Box (STB) applications have to address major challenges such as compliance to national and/or worldwide standards for both STB and audio. Moreover, they have to target the trade-offs between system performances and Bill-of-Material (BoM) costs per different market segments and customer requests. Indeed, when a whole application schematics
