The PREVAIL project, part of the European Union’s initiative to develop advanced edge AI technologies, is set to revolutionize 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 groundbreaking work being done in the PREVAIL project," says 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 analog 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."
The Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, headquartered in Erlangen, Germany, conducts world-class research on microelectronic and IT system solutions and services. Today, it is the largest institute of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, one of the world’s leading applied research organizations.
Dolphin Design, a Soitec subsidiary, is a leading provider of semiconductor IP solutions, specializing in ASIC and IP design in AI computing, Power management, High-quality Audio, Power metering, and design safety/robustness.
The PREVAIL project is creating a multi-hub Test and Experimentation Facility (TEF) for edge AI hardware. This infrastructure enables a trusted, non-discriminatory test facility in Europe, capable of validating high-performance, low-power edge components and technologies. Four major European Research and Technology Organizations (CEA-Leti, imec, Fraunhofer, and VTT) have set up this consortium to build on their advanced 300mm fabrication, design, and test facilities in a coordinated and complementary fashion.
This partnership with Dolphin Design is a significant step towards achieving the project’s goal of developing next-generation edge AI technologies that are both innovative and sustainable.
