Overview
SiliconIntervention applies an architectural approach to solving the real-world problem of maximizing efficiency in Class-D drivers over a wide range of power levels. This architectural approach is the basis for products with a self-determining ability to maximize efficiency over a wide range of operations.
FRACTAL-D based silicon products can leverage the advances already established using SiliconIntervention’s half-buck techniques and extend those gains automatically over a wide operating spectrum.
FRACTAL-D based products utilize conventional CMOS processes, do not call for non-volatile memory, and do not demand CPU/DSP processing or unique control signals/pins.
FRACTAL-D is just that—it is smart enough to figure out how to apply maximum efficiency to the task at hand—in real time.
FRACTAL-D IP is another example of a growing IP product portfolio based on the “New Analog:” a groundbreaking approach to sensor domain signal processing using next generation advanced analog and mixed signal design techniques.
