What Semiconductor IP Products Does Dolphin Semiconductor Offer?

Dolphin Semiconductor provides semiconductor IP organized into two main platforms—power management and audio—plus foundation IPs and power metering. The power management line covers ABB, DC/DC converters, SIMO, LDO regulators, oscillators, voltage monitors, sensors, and a power controller. The audio line covers ADC, DAC, ASRC, PWM DAC, PDM-to-PCM conversion, voice activity detection, neuromorphic audio, and audio codec. These blocks are packaged as design platforms intended to be integrated into System-on-Chip (SoC) designs, with the company emphasizing energy efficiency, audio quality, and processing capability as the balance it targets.

Power Management IP

Dolphin states it draws on 20+ years of expertise in power management IP design. The published product categories are:

• ABB — listed as a power management IP category
• DC/DC converters
• SIMO (single-inductor multiple-output) regulators
• LDO regulators
• Oscillators
• Voltage monitors
• Sensors
• Power controller

The stated purpose is longer battery life and lower power consumption in the end design, which matters most for mobile devices, consumer electronics, automotive systems, and IoT applications—the segments Dolphin names as its targets.

Audio IP

The audio portfolio is the other major platform. Published categories include:

• ADC and DAC — including a 24-bit Class-D audio DAC described as silicon proven
• ASRC (asynchronous sample rate conversion)
• PWM DAC
• PDM to PCM conversion
• Voice activity detection
• Neuromorphic audio
• Audio codec

Dolphin's page also references noise cancellation, beamforming, and voice user capture as audio capabilities. If your SoC needs an always-on voice trigger, voice activity detection and PDM-to-PCM are the relevant blocks; if it needs playback, the DAC and codec categories apply.

Foundation IPs, Power Metering, and Integration

Beyond the two main platforms, the product menu lists Foundation IPs and Power Metering. Foundation IPs typically supply the basic building blocks an SoC needs alongside the specialized analog and audio functions. Power metering is relevant where the system must measure its own energy use.

On integration, Dolphin frames its IP as "comprehensive design platforms" engineered to enhance SoC designs, and says it guides clients from concept to market-leading products using its understanding of silicon technology. The practical takeaway: these are licensable IP cores and design expertise rather than finished chips, so the integration work happens in your SoC project, and the company positions itself as a design partner through that process.

How to Decide Which Categories Apply
