In partnership with TSMC, Dolphin Integration has developed all the IP contributors for an ultra-low-power SoC suitable for IoT applications. Extreme power consumption reduction of an SoC requires a power domain architecture, which is a complex task for SoC integrators. Therefore, more semiconductor IPs are necessary than usual to enable the performance needed for SoC differentiation in competitive markets.

In order to help fabless suppliers reach extreme optimisation and beat the competition, Dolphin can fill in the missing elements of know-how and IP components including:

Ultra low power libraries:
- Low dynamic power SRAM memories, low leakage standard cell libraries for AON working at 0.55V and low dynamic power standard cell library, low power MCUs, power reducing cache controller and more.
- A set of control IPs to easily manage the mode transitions and an innovative power gating solution.
Innovative IDE and EDA solutions to optimise the power consumption during software development and ensure SoC functionality; and
The integration flow complements followed a low power methodology experimented and demonstrated in actual SoC implementations, thanks to our SoC integration expertise.
