Low Power Processing™ that unlocks performance-per-watt.

Power Down Semiconductor, Inc. develops Low Power Processing (LPP™), a patented circuit-level technique that dramatically reduces dynamic switching power without reducing performance—enabling higher density and lower thermals from wearables to data centers.

Mission

Enable the next era of compute by removing power as a limiter. LPP™ reduces switching power by at least 90% with no reduction in clock frequency—unlocking better performance-per-watt under constrained thermals.

What LPP™ targets

In many workloads, dynamic switching dominates total power. LPP™ is designed to directly address that switching component at the circuit level—so systems can scale performance without paying the usual thermal and energy penalty.

A clear evaluation sequence

A professional, low-friction process built for engineering teams.

01

Define targets

Align on workload, constraints, and what “success” means (power, thermals, performance, form factor).

02

Select integration path

Pick IC, IP, or services based on timeline, risk tolerance, and system architecture.

03

Measure & validate

Evaluate using agreed KPIs and measurement methods, then plan next steps toward scale.
