Kilopass Completes IP Qualification for TSMC's 0.18-micron CMOS Process
Update: Synopsys Expands DesignWare IP Portfolio with Acquisition of Kilopass Technology (Jan. 10, 2018)
XPM memory IP provides embedded, low-cost and secure non-volatile memory
SAN JOSE, California - November 8, 2005 -Kilopass Technology, a leading provider of semiconductor non-volatile memory (NVM) intellectual property (IP) for standard CMOS logic, has completed qualification of its XPM non-volatile memory (NVM) intellectual property (IP) on Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company's (TSMC) 0.18-micron CMOS logic process. The qualification involved passing a rigorous quality standard set by TSMC that includes over 1000 hours of high temperature operating life tests.
"We are pleased that our XPM memory IP passed qualification on TSMC's 0.18-micron process," said Charles Ng, VP of Worldwide Sales and Marketing, Kilopass Technology. "This achievement opens the door for chip developers to embed Kilopass' low-cost, field-programmable, non-volatile memory technology into a variety of silicon products that can be targeted to the world's largest dedicated semiconductor foundry."
"With this qualification, Kilopass Technology's XPM memory adds a valuable new IP resource for IC designers seeking a low-cost alternative to solutions based on current embedded Flash memory technology," said Ed Wan, director of product marketing for TSMC's design services division.
