Dolphin Integration's memories silicon proven at TSMC 90 nm eFlash

Grenoble, France – June 1^st, 2015 -- Dolphin Integration is proud to announce that their memory offering at 90 nm eFlash process have fully passed the various stages of TSMC 9000 qualification. This guarantees innovative solutions with minimal risks and maximum reliability.

Dolphin Integration’s SpRAM RHEA, 1PRFile AURA, 2PRFile/DpRAM ERIS and sROMet PHOENIX are silicon proven to support smartcard, home application and more generally all MCU designs that need the best trade-off between area and power consumption.

As part of the partnership between TSMC and Dolphin Integration, these memories are available in TSMC’s sponsored program and enable to address true High Density and Low Power challenges through main key benefits:

• SpRAM RHEA achieves up to 10% area savings*, ultra low leakage current, and drastically decreased dynamic power consumption,
• 1PRFile AURA generator enables up to 30% area savings* and ultra low leakage,
• 2PRFile/DpRAM ERIS proposes a trade-off between speed and ultra low leakage thanks to various VT options,
• sROMet PHOENIX contributes to 5-10 % gain in density* with a denser architecture for metal programmable ROM.

*Comparison with standard solutions

More importantly, Dolphin Integration offers a wide range of qualified memories and standard cell libraries so as to offer Off-the-Shelf products endowed with differentiated optimizations to address a diversity of SoC requirements.

For a true power consumption optimization, these libraries can be delivered with their relevant voltage regulators thanks to the innovative offering of Reusable Power Kit Libraries.

About Dolphin Integration

Dolphin Integration contributes to "enabling mixed signal Systems-on-Chip" for worldwide customers - up to the major actors of the semiconductor industry - with Silicon IP components best at low-power consumption.

This wide offering is based on innovative libraries of standard cells, register files, memory generators and power regulators. Complete networks for power supply can be flexibly assembled together with their loads: from high-resolution converters for audio and measurement applications to power-optimized micro-controllers of 8 or 16 and 32 bits.

Over 30 years of diverse experiences in the integration of silicon IP components and providing services for ASIC/SoC design and fabrication, with its own EDA solutions solving unaddressed challenges, make Dolphin Integration a genuine one-stop shop covering all customers’ needs for specific requests.

The company striving to incessantly innovate for its customers’ success has led to two strong differentiators:

• state-of-the-art “configured subsystems” for high-performance applications securing the most competitive SoC architectural solutions,
• a team of Integration and Application Engineers supporting each user’s need for optimal application schematics, demonstrated through EDA solutions enabling early performance assessments

Its social responsibility has been from the start focused on the design of integrated circuits with low-power consumption, placing the company in the best position to now contribute to new applications for general power savings through the emergence of the Internet of Things.
