Microsemi indgår foundry-samarbejde med Intel
Microsemi vil benytte Intel's foundry services og tilbyde nye generationer af systemchips, der er baseret på Intels 22nm tri-gate transistorteknologi (in english).
Microsemi Corp. has announced it is leveraging Intel Corporation’s foundry technology for the development of advanced high-performance digital integrated circuits (ICs) and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions using Intel’s revolutionary 22 nanometer (nm) 3-D Tri-Gate transistor technology.
Consistent with Microsemi’s strategy, this agreement signed in January 2013 will leverage the company’s comprehensive technology portfolio into higher-performance, higher-dollar value opportunities.
Intel’s Tri-Gate transistors provide an unprecedented combination of performance and power efficiency, enabling Microsemi to develop digital ICs for high-performance computing, network acceleration and signal processing applications. Microsemi is currently engaged with customers and has started designs utilizing Intel’s 22nm process node with product delivery anticipated to begin in late 2014 to early 2015.
- The high-value applications we address require semiconductor solutions with unique performance and complex functional attributes, says Paul Pickle, executive vice president of Microsemi’s Integrated Circuits group.
- Using Intel’s innovative process technology and silicon-proven IP will enable us to expand our opportunity in the markets we serve with higher-performance, lower-power digital ICs for the communications and defense markets.
