Dolphin Integration reveals the standard power kit library DELTA to ease the deployment of an optimal power management network into a SoC

Grenoble, France – November 24, 2014 -To overcome the power challenge, Power Management Networks (PMNet) are becoming more and more complex. Making the right choices for embedding PMNets into System-on-Chips (SoC) might result in tricky issues for the integrator.

To ease the PMNet deployment, Dolphin Integration reveals the disruptive approach enabled by the standardized “Reduced Power Kit Library”, namely DELTA.

Stringent objectives addressed by DELTA:

• Being a library of reusable components
• Optimize the SoC even with a reduced set of regulation components for each challenge: high efficiency, low noise, low BoM, low leakage…
• Standardize rules to ease PMNet integration
• Feature innovative views to enable PMNet verifications

Discover how DELTA makes the difference:

Classic (Custom) power management Library	DELTA (Reusable) Power Kit Library	Advantages for your SoC
Components customized for each load within a SoC	Reduced number of predefined and validated structures parametrized by a dozen of Power Stage Units	Reducing time-to-market
Benchmark at regulation components level	Cooperative selection process to evaluate the entire PMNet through the Figure-of-Merit (FoM)	Reaching the best performance trade-off for the overall PMNet
Lack of integration methodology for assembling an optimal PMNet	4 pre-defined voltage levels for “Interfaces for the Distribution of Power” (IDP) facilitating reusability and spreading the regulation constraints through PMNet architecture	Easing selection of regulation components required for an optimal PMNet
	Standard rules for PMNet integration	Enabling a mixed PMNet embedding third party components
Omission of verifications for PMNet robustness over fast transitions between activity modes	Behavioral simulation models with EDA solution for verifying the SoC assembly	Securing integration of the PMNet

To reach the best overall power consumption, DELTA RPKL is compatible with our offering for island construction.
