Imagine if your gadgets could automatically dial their energy use up or down like a dimmer switch, perfectly matching the task at hand. This technology acts as a smart brain for chips, ensuring they never waste power. It helps tiny wireless devices run much longer on a single charge by operating at their absolute minimum energy point.
The explosion of wireless devices toward 1 trillion units by 2035 threatens to increase electricity consumption by 13 times the current usage of Europe. Current microprocessors are not energy efficient enough to sustain this growth sustainably.
The project developed Minima Memory & DSP IP blocks and hardware/software components for integration into System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures.
If you are a wearable manufacturer dealing with short battery life in smartwatches — this project developed IP blocks that reduce microprocessor energy demand by up to 20x. This allows devices to handle data analysis at the source without draining the battery.
If you are a sensor provider dealing with the high cost of replacing batteries in trillions of remote devices — this project developed hardware and software components that integrate into microprocessors. This ensures devices remain energy efficient while collecting data at the source.
If you are a hardware developer dealing with the massive electricity surge predicted for the Internet of Everything by 2035 — this project developed Minima Memory & DSP IP. This technology allows wireless devices to adapt to changing performance needs and process variations.
The company sells IP blocks that are integrated into microprocessors prior to manufacturing. This allows the technology to be integrated into consumer products in days rather than months.
Based on available project data, the technology targets the 6.3 billion semiconductor market.
Based on available project data, the company is moving from a service-based model to a product-led business selling IP blocks, but specific pricing is not listed.
The technology consists of hardware and software components integrated into the microprocessor, memory, and Digital Signal Processor (DSP) parts of the SoC.
The project aimed to productize the technology so that integration into consumer products takes days instead of months.
The project is led by a single industrial partner, Minima Processor Oy, a Finnish company. With a 100% industry ratio and no university or research partners, the project is purely commercially driven, focusing on the rapid productization of IP blocks for the semiconductor market.
