ProteanTecs, a leading provider of advanced electronics data analytics, has unveiled its latest power reduction solution designed for the datacenter, mobile, communications, and automotive markets. Leveraging on-chip telemetry, machine learning, and predictive analytics, the new solution enables system-on-chip (SoC) power reduction during production testing and in-field operations.
Through personalized device assessment and real-time visibility of timing margins under functional workloads, ProteanTecs’ power reduction solution offers a range of unique features. From Power Characterization to VDDmin Prediction and the industry-first AVS Pro application, these capabilities can be used to maximize power savings by over 10% while providing a layer of protection.
“The demand for power reduction has become increasingly critical in reliability-dependent sectors such as cloud computing, mobile, telecommunications, and automotive, as CPUs, GPUs, and AI processors continue to evolve to meet higher performance requirements,” stated Evelyn Landman, co-founder and CTO of ProteanTecs. “With our power reduction solution, we have successfully demonstrated its effectiveness to multiple customers, and we aim to assist more customers in achieving the optimal balance between power and performance without compromising system reliability. Our solution provides customers with the ability to double their power savings while maintaining a safety net.”
ProteanTecs also introduces AVS Pro, a closed-loop hardware-firmware application for adaptive voltage scaling (AVS) that focuses on reliability and functional-workload awareness. By leveraging excessive guard-bands and employing timing margin agents, AVS Pro enables significant in-field power savings, reducing power consumption by an average of 8-14%.
In addition, ProteanTecs offers applications for prediction-based VDDmin optimization during production, providing deep data analytics for process grading. These applications are deployed on the tester, with advanced analysis performed on the ProteanTecs cloud platform. Through partnerships with leading automated test equipment (ATE) vendors, the company enables real-time power and performance visibility for inline decision-making.
ProteanTecs’ power reduction solution is set to revolutionize performance- and reliability-critical markets, including cloud computing, consumer devices, telecommunications, and automotive sectors. By optimizing power-hungry components, customers can enhance operational efficiencies, extend the lifespan of their electronic systems, and achieve significant cost savings and improved system utilization rates.
