This collaboration aims to push the boundaries of power management in next-generation edge AI (Artificial Intelligence) technologies.

Dolphin Design will supply Fraunhofer IIS with its comprehensive range of power management IP solutions in 22FDX technology. These solutions are known for their energy-efficient, and low-power characteristics, making them suitable for the demands of edge AI applications. They are also known for their configurability, enabling them to meet the various needs of the consortium.

The PREVAIL project, part of the European Union’s initiative to develop advanced edge AI technologies, is set to revolutionise various industries by enabling smarter, more efficient AI capabilities at the edge.

By integrating Dolphin Design’s innovative power management IPs, Fraunhofer IIS will be equipped to enhance the performance and efficiency of the project’s AI systems.

“We are excited to partner with Fraunhofer IIS and contribute to the ground-breaking work being done in the PREVAIL project,” said Hakim Jaafar, VP of Marketing at Dolphin Design. “Our power management IP solutions are designed to meet the stringent demands of edge AI, and we are confident that this collaboration will lead to significant advancements in the field.”

Dr. Markus Eppel, group manager at Fraunhofer IIS, stated, “Dolphin Design’s power management IP, combined with Fraunhofer’s analogue mixed-signal inference accelerators and software toolchain for neuromorphic computing, creates a powerful solution for neural network deployment on the Edge. The framework established through PREVAIL allows us to provide Dolphin’s and Fraunhofer’s potent technology combined from one hand to SME design houses, reducing design time and enhancing services for system integrators.”

This partnership is being seen as a significant step towards achieving the project’s goal of developing next-generation edge AI technologies that are both innovative and sustainable.
