Project description
Creating low-power memory for electronic devices
Many devices and sensors use static random-access memory (SRAM) to access data quickly, but such memory can consume significant power during idle use periods. The EIC-funded HIGH-MEMO project seeks to design SRAM that will greatly increase power efficiency for use in applications such as telecommunications infrastructure and data centres, which power the internet of things. Researchers will create SRAM that reduces energy consumption by 70-90 % when idle, and for high performance applications it will have the potential to reach two to three times higher speeds and reduce energy use by 30 %. The goal is to get a low-energy ultra-high-speed memory market ready to ensure our smart devices do not waste power.
Objective
Static Random-Access Memories (SRAM) are bottlenecks. In IoT devices, they consume significant power when the device is idle. In high performance applications such as telecommunication infrastructure, data centres, and stationary devices they limit the processor performance. Xenergic’s mission is to design SRAM that revolutionise system-on-chip power efficiency. For IoT devices, we design SRAM that reduce energy consumption by 70-90% when the device is idle. For high performance applications our SRAM have the potential to reach 2-3x higher speed and to reduce energy consumption by 30% compared to competing SRAM. To capitalise on a >€280B annual market opportunity, we provide our customers with IP on SRAM design tailored to their requirements and profit from royalties on their sales. Our ultra-low energy memories are gaining strong traction from leading semiconductor companies. Now, we seek an investment from the EIC Accelerator to make our ultra-high-speed memories market-ready.
