Dolphin Integration enables to get the most competitive Power Management Network

Grenoble, France – May 4, 2015 -- Embedding the Power Management Network (PMNet) in Systems-on-Chip (SoC) is mandatory for optimizing circuits towards reduction of both BoM and power consumption.

In the same manner as for standard cell libraries, Dolphin Integration proposes the Reusable Power Kit Library (RPKL), a complete library of embedded voltage regulators structured per a standard, namely DELTA, resulting in reusable components for faster Time-to Market.

The RPKL not only contains voltage regulators but also key complements suitable for Battery Management Systems, as well as Companions for Regulators. The integral offering enables to build an optimized Power Management Network (PMNet) for either Low Bill-of-Material, Low power, High efficiency or Low noise optimization criteria.

Ones of these flagship products are the Retention Alternating Regulators (RAR), that combines two regulators, one for diverse optimizations in normal mode and one for ultra-low quiescent current in retention mode; and the Over-voltage Protection Modules (OPM), enabling 5.5 V operation while using standard 3.3 V CMOS processes.

Thanks to this complete offering, Dolphin Integration delivers to SoC Integrators all the Power supply components needed to build an optimal PMNet. To help select the appropriate components and design the best power management architecture, Dolphin Integration’s application engineers provide a custom Figure-of-Merit (FoM) taking into account the best performance trade-off for each application constraints and customer requirements.

The Reusable Power Kit Library: from 180 nm to 28 nm

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.
