SMIC Announces LDO Linear Voltage Regulator IP SeriesFor 0.13um to 0.35um Logic/Mixed-Signal, and 0.18um & 0.35um EEPROM CMOS process technologies Shanghai, CHINA, December 21, 2005 -- Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (“SMIC”, NYSE: SMI and HKSE: 0981.HK), one of the leading semiconductor foundries in the world, announced today the availability of a series of Low Dropout (LDO) Linear Voltage Regulator IPs for its power management IP portfolio. Specifically, the series will be available for 0.13um to 0.35um Logic/Mixed-Signal, and 0.18um and 0.35um EEPROM CMOS process technologies. These internal LDO Linear Voltage Regulator IPs, which can be embedded into a broad range of applications, including digital cameras, MP3 players, smart cards, SIM cards and IP phones, are all silicon-proven and available for use, with some already in volume production. Compared to industry standards, SMIC’s LDO Linear Voltage Regulator IP is designed to offer competitive advantages, including a small area, low power consumption, high output drive, multi-loading current, a power-saving shutdown mode with a short wake up time, a high power supply reject ratio (PSRR), and a stable, yet large, operating output voltage range. In addition, both standard and non-standard selectable output voltages, and customization services to develop solutions depending on customer needs and requirements are available. With over 400 internal and third-party partners’ verified IPs currently available, SMIC aims to provide a wide selection to fully support the diverse design needs of its customers. SMIC also aims to continue to collaborate with other leading third-party IP providers to jointly offer total design solutions. For additional information about the LDO Linear Voltage Regulator IP series and/or any other IPs, please contact SMIC sales account managers or design services at design_services@smics.com.
