PARIS — Dolphin Integration SA, French provider of embedded memories and audio converters in the form of intellectual property cores, announced Air Semiconductor (Swindon, England) has adopted its low-power random access and read only memories.

Air Semiconductor said that Dolphin's memories will provide its customers with continuous and instant location tracking, accelerating the development of proactive applications and services.

Dolphin Integration claimed it has optimized its Uranus and Phoenix memory architecture so much so that the memory architectures guarantee fabrication yield "with a read margin of more than 10 percent of the effective power supply". Air Semiconductor noted that it has implemented the low power variant for both dynamic and static consumption.

"Some companies expect SoC designers to independently define the read margin for minimizing power consumption of their memories in order to improve speed," stated Jean-Francois Pollet, CIO at Dolphin Integration. "At Dolphin Integration our policy is to optimize memory architectures and take full responsibility for ensuring the best memory performances so that designers don’t waste time on the complex issue of read margins."
