Voltage Regions and Impact of Voltage Scaling

As artificial intelligence (AI) workloads migrate to endpoint hardware, edge AI devices face immense pressure to deliver real-time inference within highly restrictive power and thermal envelopes. Traditional silicon scaling no longer yields the power-density returns it once did. To compensate, engineering teams are turning… Read More

Low Energy Efficiency

There is an important difference between low power and low energy in SOC design. Low power focuses on instantaneous power consumption. This is frequently done to deal with cooling and heat dissipation issues. Of course, it serves as a prerequisite for low energy design, which seeks to reduce overall power consumption over time.… Read More

Dolphin is addressing the ultra-low-power (ULP) needs for some applications, like for example Bluetooth low energy (BLE), machine-to-machine (M2M) or IoT edge devices in general. For these applications, defining active and sleep modes is imperative, but it may not be enough to guarantee that the battery-powered system will… Read More
