Transmeta announced today that it has licensed its LongRun2 power management and transistor leakage control technology to Sony Corporation.
Transmeta’s LongRun2 technologies address the problems of excessive chip heat and transistor leakage, which pervade the semiconductor industry and are expected to get progressively worse as successive manufacturing technologies scale down to smaller dimensions. Transmeta’s advanced LongRun2 technologies may be used to improve semiconductor devices by reducing total chip power, reducing standby power, reducing burn-in power, and potentially improving chip performance and reducing manufacturing costs.
