SureCore has exploited its low power design capability to create a new range of ultra-low voltage, SRAM solutions, calledPowerMiser™ Plus. Based on the market-leading, low dynamic power PowerMiser architecture, this dual rail product family can interface down to 0.45V, enabling customers to create innovative, low power products. Because both the logic and memory can operate at the same voltages, they can be adjusted in tandem to increase and decrease performance and therefore power consumption simultaneously as required by the application. By specifying a minimal differential between core array and periphery supplies, the use of power-hungry level shifters within the SRAM are avoided, thereby further optimising power consumption.
More and more customers are responding to market pressures to deliver extended battery lives. In doing so, they can no longer ignore the significant power drain of their embedded SRAM. This is especially true in the edge-AI space where pattern matching requires heavy SRAM usage. Key to delivering the power savings demanded is the wholesale shift of the application to a lower operating voltage which is fine for the logic, of course, which can still deliver relatively high performance. Memory is a different matter entirely and needs very special attention. With our market leading and patented power saving technology and low voltage expertise, we are able to craft the PowerMiser Plus architecture that sets a new benchmark for ultralow voltage operation. This successfully delivered the low voltage solutions needed by our customers enabling them to hit their challenging power targets.
