Globalfoundries has introduced the subsequent era of its FDX platform, 22FDX+, designed to fulfill the ever-growing want for greater efficiency and ultra-low energy necessities of related gadgets.
Globalfoundries stated its 22FDX (particularly 22nm FD-SOI) platform has realized US$4.5 billion in design wins with greater than 350 million chips shipped to clients around the globe. The new 22FDX+ builds on the 22FDX platform, the foundry continued, providing a broader set of options that present excessive efficiency, ultra-low energy, and specialty options and capabilities for new-generation designs. The differentiated providing will additional empower clients to create chips which might be particularly optimized for IoT, 5G, automotive and satellite tv for pc communications functions.
The first specialty resolution to be out there on Globalfoundries’ new 22FDX+ platform will likely be 22FDX RF+. With digital and RF enhancements, the brand new 22FDX RF+ resolution is optimized to spice up the efficiency of front-end-module (FEM) designs. The 22FDX RF+ specialty resolution will likely be out there within the first quarter of 2021, and manufactured on Globalfoundries’ 300mm manufacturing line at Fab 1 in Dresden, Germany.
Globalfoundries additionally disclosed it’s partnering with Dialog Semiconductor to leverage each corporations’ ultra-low energy, excessive efficiency RF capabilities, and embedded reminiscence to advance the frontier of connectivity into the ever-growing IoT market. “The launch of GF’s differentiated 22FDX+ platform will strengthen our collaboration with Dialog, and accelerate the incredible advancements in IoT that are already changing our lives,” stated Mike Hogan, senior VP and GM of automotive, industrial, and multi-market at Globalfoundries.
“Dialog creates highly integrated, energy-efficient SoCs and specialty memory devices optimized for connecting the Internet of Things,” stated firm CEO Jalal Bagherli. “Globalfoundries’ 22FDX+ platform, with its advanced RF performance, low power capabilities, and comprehensive platform features, is a key enabling technology that allows us to stay at the forefront of our industry for the next generation of these IoT products.”
In a separate assertion, Globalfoundries introduced it has shipped greater than 75 million items of its 28HV specialised semiconductor resolution…
