Dolphin Integration launch their unique JAXpower structure for optimized power regulators

Meylan, France – October 15, 2010. Dolphin Integration, the enabler of Mixed Signal Systems-on-Chip (SoC) now provide Integrators with solutions for optimizing Power Management Networks (PMN). Indeed, embedding PMIC functions must not maintain a monolithic structure but must be properly disseminated throughout the SoC. Their JAXpower structure enables networking Power Management, whatever the SoC application schematics. Blocks of readymade regulators are selected to match integrators' needs, depending on the loads of separate Silicon IP, and their specific optimization criteria.

As a result, integrators can reach any optimization compromise: high efficiency, low BoM, low noise, low power or high density, while benefiting from a fast delivery of the network kit. Thanks to a wide possibility of configurations, SoC designers only need a single provider for the entire PMN if they wish for reducing their time to market. Dolphin Integration provides either FAEs support or can deliver a Custom Training Package for the diverse modeling needs of a realistic PMN.

Virtual Components of Silicon IP from Dolphin are now supplied with their JAXpower regulator:

• High-resolution audio converters benefit from low-noise and low-consumption regulators, while embedding pop-up noise reduction functions, etc.
• Logic blocks (including RAMs and standard cells) benefit from dual voltage regulators enabling autonomous power islet and low-voltage operation.
