Movellus Introduces Aeonic Power™ Product Family for On-Die Voltage Regulation
June 18 2024 - 11:00AM
Movellus today announced the introduction of the Aeonic Power™
product family aimed at meeting the on-die power delivery needs of
computational blocks, functional blocks, and die-to-die
interconnects for complex SoCs. The Aeonic Power family debuts with
two products: Aeonic Power™ HC, enabling energy optimization of
digital cores and logic blocks, and Aeonic Power™ LN to simplify
power delivery for die-to-die interfaces (e.g. UCIe).
Aeonic Power™ HC is a high-current, on-die solution that
delivers local, distributed power, enabling fine-grained DVFS for
computational cores, clusters, and logic blocks. It can reliably
supply core power to processing elements across a wide current
range, helping SoCs balance performance and power, resulting in
energy savings of up to 15%.
"Even with architectural innovations that are improving
performance per watt, AI and HPC workloads are driving dramatic
increases in total SoC power,” said Michael Smith, senior director
SoC, Tenstorrent. “The industry is applying every available option
to optimize power, and we believe that on-die voltage regulation
will be invaluable in helping design teams take the next steps in
energy-efficient computing by bringing fine-grained power
management closer to computational cores."
Aeonic Power™ LN is built to support die-to-die interconnects in
the chiplet ecosystem. Simplifying power distribution for D2D
interconnects via on-chip regulation and reduction of inductive
filters results in overall BOM improvements for chiplets.
“Power is a critical design parameter for large SoC design
teams. While everyone wants more compute power, it comes at a
significant cost at the chip, system and data center levels,” said
Kevin Krewell, principal analyst, TIRIAS Research. “Movellus has a
very interesting solution to the power challenge with their on-die
voltage regulators that enable power management at a silicon block
level, closer to each core. Design teams need every advantage to
combat growing power demands, and Movellus offers a very valuable
solution.”
The Movellus Aeonic Power family delivers a suite of
power-focused telemetry, providing valuable insight into customers’
power delivery networks. These features assist engineering teams
with a data-driven approach to designing power networks and
applying optimal silicon life cycle strategies.
“Power delivery is one of the most challenging areas in SOC
design today,” said Mo Faisal, CEO, Movellus, “On-die voltage
regulation holds tremendous potential to reduce power, simplify
design, and increase the robustness of PDNs, but to date, only a
handful of companies had the capability to tackle this using custom
designs. Aeonic Power takes a new, scalable approach to on-die
voltage regulation to make these solutions available to the broader
market.”
Movellus continues to advance high-performance silicon through
energy and performance-optimized infrastructure in the AI era. The
Aeonic™ Digital IP platform has been integrated by multiple
customers and ported across various process nodes from 40nm to 3nm.
End applications range from ultra-low power edge AI devices to
performance-centric cloud datacenter compute and AI offerings. This
latest milestone enables advanced on-die voltage regulation for
high-performance SoCs and chiplets.
