The BCD process technology has been around since the mid-eighties, but there has more recently been phenomenal interest and growth in BCD technology. This has been driven by the growing need in Power Management IC (PMICs), motor-control, power audio and many other applications targeting the consumer, industrial or automotive markets. The need for more intelligence […]
The challenge of improving the RFID reader detection range and thus the identification rate induce that the chips must be able to operate at extremely low voltage, as the energy caught by the antenna is lowered. This challenge leads to consider every mean to reduce the RFID chips power consumption. One of the main way
Energy management is at the heart of the new generation of systems-on-chips (SoCs) targeting battery-powered applications. More complex power architectures are required to enable devices to run on the same battery for years rather than months. These new architectures often result in new noise challenges. To deal with the complex tasks of defining and implementing
The ongoing analog switch-off in several emerging economies, refresh cycles in North America and some parts of Europe, and upgrades to advanced functionality with a richer user interface for quick search and discovery of content are driving the growth of the global Set-top Boxes market. In this competitive market, Fabless providers must offer SoC which
Dolphin Integration announces the filing of a patent relating to the management of the consumption modes of Systems-on-chip or SoC. This patent addresses the problem of control of resources (power supplies, clock signals…) in order to master the critical phases of the start-up and changes in consumption patterns: ignition, extinction, change of power level or
Dolphin Integration provides its customers with a complete set of Foundation IPs in TSMC 55 nm uLP and uLP eFlash processes; these are specifically designed to help reduce the SoC power consumption during sleep and active modes. Lowering the SoC power consumption to support battery-powered devices has always been a challenge for designers. Dolphin Integration’s

Allowing battery-powered devices to run, without battery recharge, for years rather than months, partakes in enhancing significantly end-user satisfaction and is a key point to enabling the emergence of IoT applications. Numerous applications, such as M2M, BLE, Zigbee…, have an activity rate (duty cycle) such that the power consumption in sleep mode dominates the overall

Launching any low-power SoC on a highly competitive market requires true differentiating factors. For IoT applications requiring ultra low-power solutions to extend battery life-time for wireless-connected devices, SoC architects optimize power modes by partitioning the SoC. This minimizes dynamic power in active modes, as well as power leakage in stand-by modes. Dolphin Integration is on
