Dolphin Integration launch an innovative IP portfolio for 28 nm multimedia SoC

Grenoble, France – August 1, 2014 -- As the time is ripe, Dolphin Integration announce their 28 nm offering at TSMC HPM, with a broad range of products to address the pending challenges of multimedia SoC. Based on 30 years of design experience, Dolphin Integration reveal their intent to support leading Fabless companies to reach their stringent objectives of very low power consumption, small silicon area and low Bill-of-Material.

Critical virtual components have been developed to address two principal markets:

1- Ultra Low-Power applications (Mobile multimedia)

Products	Main characteristics
Standard-cell library SESAME-uLP-BTF	Reach up to 40 % gain in power consumption thanks to ultra low power design (L = 50 nm) compared to alternative 7-track library
Audio converter	Voice detection Mic. insert detection AGC Wind noise filter Embedded low noise regulator
Reduced Power Kit Library Library of optimized regulators	qLR regulators for ultra low quiescent current Retention Alternative Regulators (RAR) for retention mode
Composite Logic Islet Construction Kit	Islet Construction Kit with its unique Transition Ramp Cell to prevent IR Drop issues and divide the power consumption by more than 2!
Memories spRAM ORION	Single Port RAM optimized for ultra low power consumption

2- Cost-sensitive applications (Home multimedia)

Products	Main characteristics
Standard-cell library SESAME-uHD-BTF	5 to 15 % denser after P&R than standard 7-track library (L = 30 nm)
Audio converter	High density thanks to SESAME-uHD-BTF Voice detection feature High Dynamic range ADC Embedded low noise regulator
Reduced Power Kit Library Library of optimized regulators	Low BoM regulators: iLR-Capless Over-Voltage Protection Modules (OPM) for direct connection to the battery
Memories spRAM VENUS	Large range of ultra High density memories to reach up to 15% gain in density
