RPU Microelectronics · Hardware IP
The world's first and only
autonomous reflex layer
for every IP block.
Every processor in the world right now is burning energy confirming that data has not changed.
The RPU stops this — in hardware, in one clock cycle, without touching anything in your existing system.
We license it. You integrate it. Your IP block keeps everything it had — and gains a reflex it never had.
The only thing that changes in your IP block is its energy behavior.
🔋
Battery-powered device
IoT sensor, medical implant, wearable, environmental monitor. Processor wakes for unchanged readings millions of times per day.
10× – 100× battery life
🏭
Industrial / predictive maintenance
Vibration monitor, acoustic sensor, thermal probe. Machine is fine 99% of the time. DSP runs anyway.
10× – 50× sensor node life
📡
Radar / SIGINT / defense
Processing pipeline runs at full rate confirming empty sky, stationary clutter, unchanged environment.
~99.998% idle cycle reduction
🧠
Edge AI / inference
Camera processes every frame. Empty corridor at 3 AM. Parking lot between shifts. Full forward pass, always.
5× – 20× effective throughput
🚗
ADAS / autonomous systems
LiDAR, camera, radar — all processing at full rate at a red light, in a parking lot, on an empty highway.
15× toggle reduction · less heat
🖥️
Data center / SmartNIC
Telemetry pipelines confirming the fan is still spinning at the same speed. Repeated. Every second. At rack scale.
200+ TWh waste · massive cooling OPEX reduction · zero latency tax
The RPU is a 2,960-gate synthesizable hardware block. It sits in parallel between your data source and your processor. It does not touch your data path, your firmware, your interfaces, or your existing IP. It monitors the temporal rate of change (ΔC/Δt) of your incoming data stream — and keeps your processor in deep sleep until something real happens.
When data is stagnant: processor sleeps, clock tree stops toggling, energy drops to near zero.
When data changes meaningfully: processor wakes in exactly 2 clock cycles. Always 2. Never more. No jitter.
Remove the RPU and your system reverts to conventional polling with zero latency difference and zero data loss. Worst case: remove the RPU, system reverts to conventional polling. Zero difference.
