Zepp Health signs licence agreement for sureCore's EverOn ultra-low voltage memory IP
Mar. 10, 2022 –
Near-Threshold Voltage Operation Critical to Cutting Power Budgets
Sheffield, England -- March 10th, 2022 – Zepp Health, a market leader in digital health management, today announced it has licenced sureCore’s revolutionary, ultra-low voltage SRAM memory EverOn™ as part of its ongoing strategy to deliver improved computing efficiency at reduced power for its family of wearable devices.
As part of Zepp Health’s commitment to bring the most advanced products to market to cater for health-conscious consumers, the Zepp team studied the lowest power memories available before deciding to integrate the sureCore offering.
Zepp products combine classic mechanical designs with state-of-the-art health technology
“The EverOn memory is unique in the semiconductor industry, offering an unparalleled capability to operate from near-threshold voltages upwards thereby allowing direct connection to on-chip low voltage logic without the need for level shifters,” said Mike Yeung, COO, Zepp Health. He continued, “Operating at such low voltages confers huge power savings for our products. When higher compute power is needed, we just increase the voltage to be able to deliver the end user experience our customers expect.”
Paul Wells, CEO SureCore, added, “Our EverOn SRAM is ideally suited to the needs of the wearables market. Market leaders like Zepp Health are now focused on driving down power consumption. Until recently developers had no choice but to rely on industry standard IP, which is typically not optimised for power consumption – our low power memory solutions are a game-changer for product developers.”
Yeung commented further, “In Zepp’s relentless pursuit of all aspects of new technologies, devices, apps and services, we believe that we have found an innovative and dependable partner in sureCore to help us meet our demanding power goals. Their low power design and verification expertise coupled with their responsiveness and empathetic support will make for a successful long-term relationship.”
