Authors: Hai Yu & Clément Moulin The audio market for wireless Bluetooth headsets is growing rapidly. Audio devices using Bluetooth (BT) connectivity are more ubiquitous than ever. People have gotten used to wireless audio systems, and the mobile phone industry is pushing towards a world without audio connectors and cables. The latest trend in wireless
With the advent of Edge AI applications which often embed multiple cores and accelerators, it is now mandatory to have an advanced management of the power optimization during PnR flow. Dolphin Design has a long mastery in power management and in edge processing IPs. This presentation, made by François Jaquet, senior physical engineer, illustrates how
More than ever before, the attention to power consumption is paramount when developing new products. In this environment, voice activity detection has a major role to play for any new voice-controlled system. The main objective of VAD is to lower power consumption, saving on computation or data processing by deactivating part of the SoC

Authors: P. Flatresse, M. Sellier The Internet of Things (IoT) generates increasing amounts of data. According to IDC the number of connected devices will grow to 41.6 billion by 2025, generating 79.4 zettabytes (ZB) of data. Because of their variety and size these data need to be processed efficiently with new algorithms. Neural networks processing

The emergence of smart cities, smart homes and smart buildings, enabled by billions of battery-operated IoT devices connected to data centers, will force IC design teams to pursue tough power objectives: zero power consumption in stand-by mode with maximum performance in operation mode at optimized energy efficiency. Energy efficiency is the key metric which demonstrates

In the latest advanced nodes, getting a quick loading time for large analog circuits becomes a decisive stake. This paper explains how the latest SMASH™ revision allows to reach it. SMASH™ is a seamless IC-PCB mixed-signal simulator enabling the development and verification of analog and mixed-signal Silicon IPs and Integrated Circuits (IC) as well as
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
Standard-cell library offering is usually divided in three categories: 6/7-track library for cost driven requirements, 8/9-track library for mainstream requirements and 10/12-track library for high-speed requirements. Standard cell Libraries often includes Multi Vt / Multi-channel-length cells to provide further flexibility to achieve the best PPA trade-offs. However, the advent of battery-operated devices, which spend most
