AMI Semiconductor and MagnaChip Semiconductor Collaborate on SmartPower and Ultra-Low-Power Technology
14 Giugno 2007 - 3:05PM
Business Wire
AMI Semiconductor (NASDAQ:AMIS), a leading designer and
manufacturer of state-of-the-art mixed-signal and digital products
for the automotive, medical and industrial markets, and MagnaChip
Semiconductor, a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of
mixed-signal and digital multimedia semiconductors, today announced
that MagnaChip will manufacture AMI Semiconductor�s 0.35-micron
SmartPower technology and continue existing joint development of
ULP technology. This agreement follows a November 4, 2005
announcement of a 0.18-micron development and foundry relationship
between the two companies. MagnaChip and AMIS have developed a
0.18-micron ultra-low power (ULP) process that enables customers to
extend battery life by combining a typical off-current of 0.1pA/um2
for the core logic transistor with an optimized design environment
including low-power standard cells and SRAM compilers from Virage
Logic. The ULP process offers embedded EEPROM, all standard
mixed-signal modules and ultra-high reliability. Developed in
conjunction with AMIS, the process is targeted at battery powered
and other key low-power consumer and medical devices. Another part
of the agreement covers the SmartPower process transfer from AMIS
to MagnaChip along with a capacity agreement that allows AMIS to
utilize MagnaChip�s foundry services to address significant growth
opportunities in the high-voltage telecom market. AMI
Semiconductor�s SmartPower 0.35-micron mixed-signal process
supports up to 80V operation and combines high-density digital
circuits, high-voltage circuitry and high-precision analog blocks
on a single chip. �We are pleased to have MagnaChip as a
manufacturing partner to supplement our own manufacturing
operations,� said Chris King, CEO of AMIS. �The collaborative
effort of both companies will provide our customers with
leading-edge technology and, thus, advanced products for low-power
medical applications, such as hearing aids and implantable devices,
as well as high-voltage telecom products, such as highly-integrated
power-sourcing equipment, that use SmartPower technology.� �We
appreciate the confidence AMIS has shown in MagnaChip by embracing
us as a manufacturing partner in two key process technology areas,�
said Sang Park, Chairman and CEO of MagnaChip. �We believe that
this relationship will enable our two companies to grow in the
ultra-low-power and SmartPower markets and provide customers
top-level quality and capabilities in their end products.� About
