Dolphin Semiconductor

Dolphin Semiconductor is a fabless mixed-signal semiconductor IP company based in Meylan, France, with a secondary office in St-Laurent, Quebec. Established in November 2024 when Jolt Capital acquired Dolphin Design’s mixed-signal IP business, the company continues over three decades of IP development, licensing silicon-proven building blocks that chip designers integrate into their own system-on-chip products.

The IP portfolio covers power management blocks (DC/DC converters, LDO regulators, oscillators, voltage monitors, sensors), audio IP (ADCs, DACs, PDM-to-PCM converters, voice activity detection, neuromorphic audio processing), power metering IP and foundation IP. Customers include chipmakers serving smartphones, cameras, wireless speakers, true wireless earbuds, IoT devices, industrial and automotive systems.

1. Power management IP: DC/DC converters, LDO regulators, oscillators and voltage monitors.

2. Audio IP: ADCs, DACs, PDM-to-PCM converters and voice activity detection blocks.

3. Neuromorphic audio processing IP for always-on low-power audio sensing.

4. Power metering IP for energy measurement applications.

5. Foundation IP for base semiconductor building blocks.

6. Over three decades of mixed-signal IP history, spun off as an independent company in November 2024.
