Qpt

Electric motors use up to 45% of the world’s energy. QPT's solution is designed to reduce this by 10% and reduce energy consumption and CO2 emissions. THE PROBLEM The speed of an electric motor is controlled by a Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs). The faster the transistors in the VFDs can switch, the more energy is saved. GaN (Gallium Nitride) transistors can switch at much faster speeds than silicon or SiC (silicon carbide), but there are major Electromagnetic and thermal issues if driven at more than 100kHz. This limits high-speed GaN transistors to lower power applications. To our knowledge, no company has enabled the use of GaN transistors in the critical area of driving electric motors. THE SOLUTION By solving GaN’s electromagnetic and heating issues at high-speed and high-voltage, our solution is over 20x faster than even the current, next-generation silicon carbide-based solutions, and can deliver unprecedented power savings. Faster switching also means much greater power density, meaning a smaller and lighter solution, providing additional efficiency in EVs, or simpler installation and cabling solutions in industrial applications, amongst other benefits. High-frequency VFDs also don’t need an expensive filter between the VFD and the electric motor, meaning our solution can save costs for manufacturers and customers.

Surecore Ltd

sureCore has identified a need in the market for low power memory to support several emerging major technologies such as IoT, wearable and medical applications that mandate “keep alive” memory. Standard SRAM is not reliable below 0.9V, but sureCore’s single supply rail, Ultra-Low Voltage SRAM IP allows operating voltage to scale in tandem with the logic. sureCore’s IP delivers at a record-setting 0.6V across process, voltage and temperature. It provides an unprecedented 20MHz cycle time at 0.6V scaling to over 300MHz at 1.21V. Test chip results revealed an up to 80% savings in dynamic power consumption and an up to 75% reduction in static power. Key is sureCore’s patented “smart-Assist” technology that allows robust operation down to the retention voltage. Further architectural improvements include subdividing the memory into up to eight banks, which, in conjunction with enhanced sleep modes, provide greater system level flexibility. As well as operating in peripheral power off, light and deep sleep modes, each bank can also be independently controlled for active or in light sleep, deep sleep or power off modes. sureCore’s 40nmULP process technology memory compiler was launched in June 2016 and has been proven in silicon. The company also has a 28nm FDSOI compiler and is currently working on additional compilers at various technology nodes. For the first time, devices in ‘Keep Alive’ mode can deliver useful processing power at unprecedented low power levels. The huge reduction in power consumption will enable devices to keep going for far longer enabling sureCore to establish itself as the Architects of Low Power Memory. 40nm is a mature node that is a sweet spot that enables solutions for IoT and wearable devices to be cost effectively designed and produced, which is why sureCore has targeted 40nm for its low power IP as it provides a huge global potential market.

Vector Photonics

Vector Photonics’ PCSELs are the first, major break-through in semiconductor laser technology for 30 years. The company is a spin-out from one of the world’s leading academic groups in Photonics at the University of Glasgow. Its proprietary technology, developed since 2012, places Vector Photonics at the heart of the rapidly growing datacenter industry. PCSELs (Photonic Crystal Surface Emitting Lasers) are low cost, robust with high speed and power. This combination of key characteristics gives them a huge advantage over present-day, commonly used VCSELs (Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers), which compromise wavelength range and power, and EEL lasers (Edge Emitting Lasers), which are high-cost and fragile. PCSELs have other advantages too. They emit light from the top surface, like VCSELs, making them easy to package and incorporate into PCBs and electronic assemblies. They are also made in a similar way to EELs, so existing, experienced, supply chain capability and capacity can be utilised.
