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 …
