CoreHW offers high-performance power management IP, including high-efficiency DC-DC converters, ultra-low-noise LDOs, and highly configurable building blocks for custom PMIC architectures.
Our IP portfolio is optimized for integration into SoCs and ASICs across diverse application domains such as telecom, wearables, automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer electronics — delivering precision regulation, low quiescent current, and scalable power topologies.
DC-DC Converters
Our portfolio include silicon-proven buck converters such as a 5A DC-DC regulator supporting 4.25–15 V input and fine-grained 0.6–1.4 V output (2.5 mV steps) with up to 90% efficiency, and a 500 mA buck converter with 2.4–5.5 V input and 0.5–3.6 V output (25 mV steps), achieving up to 94% efficiency.
Implemented on TSMC’s 0.18 µm and 0.13 µm BCD process, these converters support optional dual-phase operation and programmable outputs, making them ideal for digital cores, analog blocks, and compact SoCs.
Low-Dropout Regulators (LDOs)
We design ultra-low-noise LDOs optimized for RF, PLL, and sensor applications, with programmable output ranges (e.g., 0.7–1.5 V) and current capacities up to 40 mA. Built on advanced nodes like GF22 FDSOI, these LDOs offer excellent noise performance and are optimized for both analog-on-top and digital-on-top integration flows.
CoreHW Design Strengths
CoreHW leverages deep expertise across process technologies — from advanced FinFET nodes (5–14 nm) to robust 180 nm BCD platforms — enabling high-performance analog/mixed-signal IP for a wide range of applications.
Our modular PMIC IPs are fully customizable and silicon-proven, supporting integration of buck converters, ultra-low-noise LDOs, digital control, sequencing, adaptive voltage scaling, and telemetry features like ADCs and temperature sensors. With full sign-off flows (STA, DRC/LVS, power integrity) and design-for-test (ATPG, BIST) support, we deliver IP that’s ready for integration at any node — and any challenge.
Competitive Edge
CoreHW enables IP-level or fully customized PMIC integration for OEMs seeking bespoke solutions, compact footprint, and optimized power architectures. Our IPs match or exceed industry-leading performance standards (e.g., ≥90% efficiency, fine voltage resolution, low noise), backed by unmatched flexibility in process compatibility, configurability, and seamless SoC-level integration.
Applications
CoreHW’s power management technology is designed to support a wide range of integrated electronics. It helps extend battery life in IoT devices and wearables, enables efficient performance in mobile and edge AI systems, supports the strict safety and power requirements of automotive electronics, and ensures clean, reliable power for RF and wireless applications.
