Overview

Phonemic proposes a unique Voice Activity Detection (VAD) IP-Core based on innovative algorithms that are able to distinguish between between speech and ambient sounds with high accuracy.

The VAD IP-Core can be integrated in a SoC (System-on-Chip) and used as a wake-up mechanism for functional blocks of voice interface with more advanced inference capabilities, such as voice command recognition, to significantly save energy during non-speech periods.

It is expected to reduce the total power consumption of a voice interface up to 100 times, which means lower battery requirements and, in turn – significantly extending the battery life of an IoT device.

Applications

  • VAD IP-Core by Phonemic provides a significant power consumption reduction and high accuracy, even in a noisy environment.
  • Voice interfaces improve user experience for devices in many market segments. Healthcare (remote health monitors for seniors), automotive (safety features), consumer electronics, wearables, retail, smart home or even toys - all of these segments will benefit from our solution.
  • Phonemic's VAD is provided as a technology-independent soft-IP that can be integrated in any SoC design.

Audio Validation in Multimedia Systems and its Parameters

In the massive world of multimedia, sound stands as a vital component that adds depth to the overall encounter. Whether it's streaming services, video games, or virtual reality, sound holds a crucial role in crafting immersive and captivating content.

Using audio codecs IP as the digital audio hub in mobile multimedia systems

By integrating an audio analog codec that implements the 'audio hub' functionality and is able to process and mix audio signals from asynchronous sources, system designers can free the scarce main processor resources for more relevant tasks and simplify the system design, thus achieving a more effective solution.

Application Hardware Modeling: Selective modeling for early prediction of subsystem performances through simulation

The virtual validation of subsystem performances (Pop-up Noise, Signal-to-Noise Ratio, Power supply Noise, Power consumption...) requires the modeling and simulation of complete subsystems. Application Hardware Modeling (AHM) consists in addressing the risks of performance degradation while integrating a Silicon IP in its Integrated Circuit (IC) and this IC on its Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The selection of relevant models for a subsystem performance, along with the creation and validation of models through equivalence checking, are the basics of Application Hardware Modeling for right-on-first-pass subsystems!
