Silicon-proven power management unit IP core

The VLDS0300LS130 Power Quencher IP core is a low-power, fully-integrated LDO voltage regulator that achieves a low-noise output voltage without the use of external components, thus saving package pins and valuable PC board space.

These features make this architecture well suited for applications where size, output voltage accuracy, and output noise are of concern, especially for Internet of Things (IoT) and other wireless applications. The IP core can support input voltages from 2.5 to 6.0V, output voltages from 1.2 to 5.5V, and provides up to 300mA of load current.

Vidatronic recently entered into a partnership with Samsung Foundry to provide analogue IP core designs for licensing through SAFE, Samsung Advanced Foundry Ecosystem. Through a collaboration with Samsung Foundry, Vidatronic will help mutual customers achieve product feature and performance advantages in their SoC designs by providing its patented, industry-leading analogue and PMU technology, silicon-proven in Samsung’s 130nm BCD process technology. 

Hyungjong Ko, Vice President of IP Development Team at Samsung Electronics, said: “We are committed to providing certified design enablement solutions to a wide range of customers, including existing strategic customers, as well as innovative, new startups. Through partnerships with IP providers, we will continue to serve customers with a comprehensive set of silicon qualified, application-specific IP offerings from the early stage of process technology development. 

“Vidatronic’s Power Quencher LDO technology is expected to deliver impressive performance benefits, as well as area savings for our customers’ SoC designs, and we are pleased to work with Vidatronic to strengthen our foundry ecosystem.”

Moises Robinson, Ph.D., President and Co-Founder of Vidatronic, added: “We are very excited to be contributing our team’s analogue expertise to Samsung Foundry. We have extensive experience with analogue, PMU and RF design, particularly in advanced processes as low as 5nm, with a history of first-time success in silicon production. 

“The release of this Power Quencher IP and announcement of the partnership with Samsung Foundry will allow customers to more easily leverage our technology to enable faster, more reliable SoC designs with distinct performance advantages over their competition.”

The VLDS0300LS130 Power Quencher IP core is immediately available.
