M31 Technology, a professional silicon intellectual property (IP) provider, has announced a collaboration with Imagination Technologies. The companies will focus on low power technologies for the IoT, wearables and other applications where embedded computation along with integrated wireless communications are required to be powered for extended periods of time on a small coin cell battery.
M31 platforms including standard cell libraries and memory compilers on embedded flash and ultra-low-power (ULP) process technologies provide system-on-a-chip (SoC) designers with significantly competitive low-power advantages for IoT applications.
Said H.P. Lin, M31 Technology’s chairman: “M31 is very glad to become a partner of Imagination. M31’s cell libraries and memory compilers can hit the sweetest spot of MIPS M-class CPUs, and empower the customer competence for IoT applications and beyond.”
Said Tony King-Smith, EVP marketing, Imagination: “We are delighted to see a new differentiated company in our ecosystem of library partners. We work with partners like M31 to give customers the best possible choices for creating designs that are fully PPA optimised, and we’ve seen promising initial results in our work with M31.”
M31 has been aggressively investing in development and validation of different types of silicon IPs. Most IPs are targeted at advanced process technologies in various foundries. M31 provides customers with differentiated IP solutions. These solutions help customers grasp market opportunities in short design cycles, low manufacturing cost, and high product competitiveness.
