Beating the Edge AI Power Wall with Low Voltage Foundation IP


Edge AI is pushing the limits of power efficiency as intelligence moves closer to the data source. Designing for ultra-low voltage operation is now essential to achieve optimal performance-per-watt—but it introduces significant complexity in modeling, variation, and design predictability. In this white paper, discover how a unified, silicon-proven Foundation IP platform approach enables relia... » read more

Energy Harvesting Gains Steam


Energy harvesting is gaining traction with a surge in ultra-low-power IoT applications, ranging from inventory tracking, wearables and drones, to vibration sensors for motors in industrial settings. The idea that machines could run without batteries—or that energy could be harvested either from motion or ambient sound waves or chemical reactions to augment battery power—has been in the w... » read more

Intel’s Claremont Near-Threshold Voltage IA Core


By Barry Pangrle Intel announced many new technologies at its recent Intel Developer Forum (IDF) held from Sept. 13-15 in San Francisco, but the one announcement that jumped out at me was the unveiling of its work on a near-threshold voltage (NTV) processor named “Claremont.” For this exercise, Intel chose an older Pentium design to help minimize the number of variables the engineers would... » read more
