Benefits from Tiempo IPs

Properties of Tiempo IPs Customer benefits
Delay insensitive logic
Very resistant to high PVT** variations
Adapted to nanometric technologies with high variability (≤ 65 nm)
Adapted to power systems with variable supply voltage
Ultra low power consumption
- Ultra low energy consumption (divided by 4 to 5)
- Ultra low current peaks (divided by 10 to 15)
- Works at very low voltage, on variable voltage range
Adapted to systems with strong power constraints
(e.g. mobile handsets, smartcards…)
Reduced noise
Low electromagnetic emission/susceptibility
Adapted to systems with strong EMC/EMI/EMS*** constraints
(e.g., in the automotive industry)
Very reactive: default sleep-mode & immediate wake-up No need for power domain management
No clock at all Allow flexible and modular design of NoC & SoC
Very resistant to attacks through power analysis and fault injections Adapted to secured systems (e.g., smartcards, NFC technology)
