Agile Analog extends GlobalFoundries deal to FinFet and FDX processes
Agile Analog in Cambridge, UK, is now providing its customisable analog IP on the GlobalFoundries (GF) FinFet and FDX FD-SOI processes.
As an ecosystem partner, Agile Analog can now offer its novel portfolio of highly configurable, multi-node analog IP solutions to global GF customers. The company is also part of the rival TSMC open innovation ecosystem.
The company now offers all its customizable analog IP across all of GlobalFoundries’ CMOS and BCD processes, with further customer designs already in progress on a range of process nodes, having delivered several IPs on GF’s 22FDX+ and 12LP+ technology platforms.
A selection of power management IP was provided to a leading US communications company on GF 22FDX+, including multiple low drop-out regulators (from the agileLDO range) with low quiescent current, capless and high output current variants, as well as a low-power bandgap and reference generator (agileREF).
On GF 12LP+ the IP deliveries included a bandgap and reference generator (agileREF), as well as an upgraded version of its voltage glitch detector (agileVGLITCH), to a major Tier 1 US customer. This security IP can detect voltage glitches of less than 2ns duration for anti-tamper applications, helping to protect against the increasing threat of side-channel attacks.
“This is a great partnership and another important milestone for Agile Analog. We now have extensive experience in developing analog IP for GF’s technology platforms, and as we continue to release our customizable analog IP to GF customers this will allow them to create their products faster and with higher quality through the integration of our IP. In addition to the customization that we offer through our Composa technology, we have off-the-shelf solutions available,” said Barry Paterson, CEO at Agile Analog.
Agile Analog has also joined the GF GlobalSolutions Ecosystem programme for EDA, IP and design. “Agile Analog is an analog IP specialist,” said Ziv Hammer, Senior Vice President of Design Platforms and Services at GF. “Our customers will benefit from Agile Analog’s unique technology and customizable solutions, alongside our in-house resources and advanced technologies, which will help them to bring new applications to market more quickly.”
