LAWRENCEVILLE, GA -- October 17, 2018 -- Silicon Creations, a leading supplier of highperformance analog and mixed-signal intellectual property (IP), was awarded the 2018 TSMC Open Innovation Platform® (OIP) Partner of the Year Award for Analog / Mixed Signal IP for the second consecutive year at the recent TSMC OIP Symposium.
Silicon Creations has collaborated with TSMC, the world’s leading foundry, on multiple process nodes since 2006, up to and including 5nm. The decade long collaboration has included several milestones, the latest being the shipment of the 1,000,000th 16nm wafer containing Silicon Creations’ PLLs.
As of October 2018, Silicon Creations PLL and SerDes IP has been used on over 370 mass production tape-outs with nearly 4 million wafers shipped in 7nm to 180nm. This collaboration provides customers with benefits that include lowered risk, raised yield and shorter time to market.
Silicon Creations’ extensive portfolio of PLL and high-speed I/O IPs has been assessed through the TSMC 9000 IP quality management program for several processes ranging from 180nm to 7nm. Along with the PLL success at TSMC, Silicon Creations recently broadened its IP support in safety critical applications and have provided ISO26262-compliant documentation packages for PLLs in 16FFC and 7FF.
