SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Movellus, Inc. today announced that Syntiant Corp. has adopted Movellus' Maestro platform for its Syntiant
® NDP120™ Neural Decision Processor™ (NDP), the edge AI chip company's latest generation of special purpose semiconductors for always-on audio and sensor processing in battery-powered devices.
Movellus' Maestro clock distribution network platform delivers chip-level architectural innovations to improve SoC performance while dramatically reducing power consumption.
"Movellus' Maestro platform has enabled us to dramatically shorten our development time so we could deliver the NDP120 to customers at record pace." Kurt Busch, CEO of Syntiant
System architects developing SOCs for edge AI, data center, cryptocurrencies, space applications, or near-threshold and power-sensitive semiconductor designs face daunting clocking challenges. Maestro's Intelligent Clock Network uses the company's third-generation TrueDigital™ technology to achieve unrivaled power saving. Movellus' all-digital implementations solve SoC-level clock distribution challenges for high-performance and ultra low power chips—including on-chip variation, jitter, clock skews, setup and hold violations, peak current, switching noise—all of which have been increasing with process node scaling. TrueDigital solutions are application-optimized and can provide impressive chip-wide benefits including up to 30% dynamic power reduction, 25x peak power savings, 30% performance gains, and 4-5x faster timing signoff.
