Jazz Semiconductor®,
the leader in Analog-Intensive Mixed-Signal (AIMS) foundry solutions
today announced its 0.18-micron Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS platform
(SBC18) enables customers to deliver next generation green, energy
efficient analog ICs. Jazz’s modular process
technology offers significant power and efficiency savings over standard
CMOS. Jazz SBC18 provides a next-generation solution for ultra low
power, integrated wireless and networking products that require
high-performance bipolar transistors with high-quality passives together
with high density logic.
Jazz’s modular SBC18 SiGe BiCMOS platform
incorporates high speed, standard, and high breakdown SiGe Bipolar
transistors, or SiGe NPNs, for low noise, high switching speeds and
better linearity than can be achieved with a typical 0.18-micron CMOS
offering, for applications where those features are required. For a
given performance level, Jazz’s SiGe NPN
provides up to 30% power savings over standard CMOS for high speed
precision analog circuits using Current Mode Logic (CML). In addition,
SBC18 offers up to 200 GHz SiGe devices extending this power advantage
to higher frequency applications such as automotive radar.
Jazz also announced today a Vertical PNP (VPNP) module for the SBC18
SiGe BiCMOS process which can be paired with a SiGe NPN to enable the
design of analog circuits that require high voltage, complementary drive
or amplification beyond the capability of standard CMOS. Jazz’s
VPNP showcases a low capacitance, high current drive, and high breakdown
voltage that enable up to 30% efficiency improvements yielding power and
die area savings for output stage and power applications.
“Our customers take advantage of our modular
0.18-micron SiGe BiCMOS platform to produce the latest differentiated,
highly integrated analog and mixed-signal products that are more energy
efficient than previous generations,” said
Chuck Fox, vice president of sales and marketing, Jazz Semiconductor. “The
SBC18 SiGe BiCMOS platform offers an optimal feature set to allow
customers to integrate complex transceiver and power amplifier functions
on a single die, significantly reducing IC power consumption over
standard CMOS technology.”
The advanced SBC18 process platform is supported by Jazz process design
kits, low power digital libraries and memory compilers, RF/analog
modeling suite, and PCM based models, to provide users with precise
circuit performance simulations and comprehensive, silicon validated
design techniques.
