What types of power management IP does MIPS Technologies offer?
MIPS Technologies has more than eight years’ experience in PM with over 100 man-years of experience and more than 100 million ICs in production leveraging IP from our portfolio. Power management IP licensing has more than doubled in the past two years and most of our customers return for repeat business. These are a few indicators of the success rate, level of service, and maturity of our power management IP solutions. We focus on low voltage applications (5.5V and below), extremely compact IP (e.g. 0.45mm2 100mA step-down DCDC, 4.2V input without 5V devices [CI2512tl]; 0.135mm2 100mA LDO, from 1.6V-3.6V to an output 1.0V-2.8V with 150mV drop-out [CI2483tn]), with extremely low power consumption (e.g. Iq=50uA for a 250mA step-down DCDC in 65nm [CI2561tn]; Iq=30uA, 100mA LDO from 3.3V to an output 1.0V-2.8V [CI2424tm]). Today, MIPS Technologies has the broadest portfolio of power management IP in a wide range of geometries, including 65nm and 40nm, silicon proven in technologies down to
