Driving Performance and Efficiency with Intelligent Power
“As compute systems scale from cloud to the edge, intelligent power delivery is emerging as a key enabler of performance and efficiency,” said Suman Narayan, CEO of Cyient Semiconductors.
“Our collaboration with MIPS allows us to bring together embedded intelligence and advanced power architectures in custom silicon platforms built on a scalable, open foundation. Together, we are designing tomorrow’s semiconductors-purpose-built for a more connected and power-efficient world.”
Optimal Solutions for Real-time Compute Workloads
Sameer Wasson, CEO of MIPS, highlighted the synergy: “The problem of power efficiency and motor control are both real-time compute workloads for which MIPS M8500 microcontrollers are the optimal choice.”
He added, “Building around our best-in-class real-time and control-loop performance and efficiency, Cyient can bring their unique capability in intelligent power delivery into custom ASIC and ASSP designs to build differentiated solutions that meet our customers’ unique needs in their target markets.”
Meeting the Demand for Custom Silicon
The increasing demand for software-defined vehicles, robust data center infrastructure, and advanced industrial automation is fueling the growth in custom silicon solutions. This partnership offers customers the ability to build advanced, differentiated products that are easy to program, combining MIPS’s advanced processor IP (based on the open RISC-V instruction set architecture) with Cyient’s expertise in intelligent power and mixed-signal design.
Targeted applications for these new ASIC/ASSP platforms include motor drive control, intelligent power management, power delivery management, and safety-critical applications. This collaboration promises significant benefits for OEMs and system integrators, including faster time-to-market, avoidance of proprietary lock-ins, and optimized platform costs.
