Overview

Industry 1st Integrated Turnkey Solution for Droop and DVFS Response

Enabling Silicon Monitoring and Health Analytics with Precise Run-Time Droop Response Data

The Aeonic Integrated Droop Response System revolutionizes the way we respond to droop in complex integrated circuits. This innovative solution is designed to simultaneously mitigate voltage droop and enable fine-grained DVFS capability in an integrated turnkey solution, resulting in significant power savings for SoCs.

It also includes extensive observability features that provides valuable insight for modern silicon health and lifecycle management systems. With its fast adaptation time, multi-threshold droop detection, remote/local droop detection support, APB & JTAG interfaces, this system helps architects manage droop and DVFS while generating actionable insights for silicon health and analytics platforms.

A versatile Control Network of power domains in a low power SoC

Developing and verifying a control network in a low-power SoC is a challenging task, especially managing the different states of regulators and modes of power domains. This article first describes state-of-the-art approaches to addressing this issue, and then delves into the solution promoted by Dolphin Integration to go further, thanks to the easy and secure Maestro� solution to manage SoC power mode transitions.

An ESD efficient, Generic Low Power Wake up methodology in an SOC

As the semiconductor industry is moving towards lower technology nodes, more and more complexity is being introduced in the design to beat the competition and provide most innovative solution to cater the needs. One of the biggest challenges that the designer faces is in terms of the keeping the power budgets of the chip within the specification and even innovate to reduce the current numbers. Depending on the application requirements, the designers have to tune up the power profile of the SoC. There are various ways to do so like dynamically changing frequency and voltage of operation, considering system level contributions to power consumption, using various modes of operation etc. In most of the cases, SoC has to support various power modes like Run mode, Sleep mode, Halt mode etc. Different power numbers are defined for each mode. Run modes can further be divided in various sub modes depending on application.

D32PRO, scalable & royalty free 32-bit CPU

D32PRO is one of the newest 32-bit CPUs available on the market. It’s been designed by Digital Core Design, IP Core provider and SoC design house from Poland, responsible e.g. for the world’s fastest or world’s smallest 8051 CPU. DCD launched more than 70 different architectures since 1999, which have been implemented in more than 300 000 000 electronic devices, that’s why one can be sure that quite considerable experience stands behind the D32PRO.
