Chipus to offer Ultra-Low-Power Analog IP Solutions for SilTerra's IoT PlatformThe Malaysian semiconductor wafer foundry and the Brazilian semiconductor IP and IC design services company jointly announced a strategic partnership focused on IoT solutions. Kulim, Malaysia and Florianópolis, Brazil -- March 7th, 2018 -- Malaysian-based wafer foundry SilTerra Malaysia Sdn Bhd (Silterra) and Brazilian-based Chipus Microeletrônica S.A. (Chipus) have jointly announced a partnership to provide analog IP solutions focusing on the Internet-of-Things (IoT) market for their mutual customers. This announcement marks a significant milestone of the multi-year collaboration between SilTerra and Chipus. Chipus expertise in analog IPs and IC design services, targeted to the Ultra-Low-Power (ULP) IoT applications, has been chosen by the foundry as it fits SilTerra’s IoT platform using the 180nm Ultra-Low-Leakage CMOS technology (I18L). The long-term partnership between the companies has brought them together again to deliver focused semiconductor foundry service and IP solutions and take a lead position in the fast-growing IoT market. The IP Portfolio will be validated in silicon throughout 2018 divided into two phases, with tape-outs in April/2018 and Q3/2018. Chipus preliminary IP list for I18L contains the following blocks:
These IPs are based on consolidated architectures that are silicon proven and that were successfully delivered to customers. As the porting process is still on-going, some specifications can be adjusted to address customers’ requests. The IP list is still preliminary and other IP blocks may be included according to requests from leading customers. “Its an honor to strengthen our partnership and continue developing new solutions to our customers along with SilTerra. We are excited to leverage our expertise on ultra-low-power IPs in IoT applications with their technology and platform. This is a step forward in our international strategy and company roadmap. It comes in handy to drive our solutions for battery-powered IoT devices and a great opportunity to continue showing why we have been trusted by SilTerra for the last 7 years”, says Murilo Pessatti, Chipus’ CEO. SilTerra recently announced the release of 180nm Ultra Low Leakage Technology to target at the IoT Sensor Hub market applications. This was made for customers who need extreme low power and cost effective technology based on SilTerra’s mature, proven, high-volume 0.18-micron technology platform to design IoT applications such as remote sensors, wearable, smart meters, and low-power embedded systems. The technology offers modular process option such as RFCMOS passive and active devices, as well as embedded Flash memory, which is ideal for single System-On-Chip (SoC) solution for IoT sensor hub IC design. “With Chipus strong analog design expertise, they have demonstrated excellent time to market track record in delivering IP solutions to serve SilTerra’s customers, particularly in CMOS and BCD technologies. We are excited to work with Chipus and this partnership would enable our mutual customers to experience reduced design risk and shorten time-to-market advantage“, said Yit Loong Lai, Executive Vice President of Sales & Marketing of SilTerra. To support the commitment and support provided by Chipus to its customers that SilTerra has seen throughout the years, the Brazilian company has recently received the ISO 9001:2015 certification that confirms to the market that the company is concerned about delivering their services in a standardized way and, consequently, with the quality expected by the customer.
