Protection Layer for Reliable Performance

AVS Pro takes proactive measures to avoid failures that stem from workload fluctuations, temperature, voltage drops, noise, latent defects, and aging.

It provides real-time HW alerts for different timing margin threshold-crossing events to allow safe power reduction.

Chip Lifetime Extension

By reducing the nominal voltage throughout a chip’s life, AVS Pro lowers power consumption and temperature, reducing stress and delaying wearout.

As the chip ages, margins are optimized accordingly to ensure reliability while maximizing efficiency.

proteanTecs’ Power & Performance solution serves high-compute devices such as AI accelerators, data center processors, networking ICs, mobile SoCs, and automotive electronics, across both production and in-system operation.
proteanTecs provides real-time insight into timing slack and margin consumption during mission-mode operation. This allows dynamic optimization of voltage and frequency settings while maintaining safe operating limits, eliminating the need for conservative guard bands.
Yes. By continuously monitoring stress, aging, and workload effects, the system can proactively adjust operating conditions to slow degradation. This extends device lifetime and maintains performance over years of operation.
By lowering per-chip power and increasing throughput, proteanTecs enables higher server utilization, reduced energy costs, and deferred capital expenditures, all while maintaining predictable performance and reliability across fleets.
Through per-die voltage optimization and dynamic workload tuning, proteanTecs reduces average power consumption, directly translating to longer battery life and sustained peak performance in smartphones and edge devices.
By minimizing overdesign, lowering power budgets, and extending the usable lifetime of hardware, proteanTecs helps companies achieve lower total energy consumption and carbon footprint across semiconductor and system lifecycles.
Both. proteanTecs provides insights at test for production optimization, and continues monitoring during mission-mode operation to sustain peak efficiency and reliability over the device’s lifetime.
Results vary by application and node, but customers typically achieve 8–15% power reduction without compromising performance or reliability.
