Main analog IP innovator brings configurable, multi-node analog IP portfolio to TSMC design ecosystem.

Cambridge. UK. 5 September 2023. Agile Analog, the customizable analog IP firm, has grow to be a member of the TSMC IP Alliance Program, a key part of the TSMC Open Innovation Platform^® (OIP). The entire vary of Agile Analog’s progressive analog IP is now accessible to TSMC prospects, overlaying information conversion, energy administration, safety, IC monitoring, and always-on-domains.

The TSMC IP Alliance contains main IP corporations from the world over and gives the semiconductor trade’s most complete catalog of silicon-verified and production-proven IP options for the TSMC applied sciences. Because the trade’s most complete and vibrant design ecosystem, the TSMC OIP ensures the optimum design expertise, best design reuse and quickest integration to speed up innovation in semiconductor design.

Chris Morrison, Director of Product Advertising and marketing at Agile Analog feedback: “We’re delighted to be becoming a member of such an elite group of worldwide IP corporations within the TSMC IP Alliance. In recent times we have now delivered IPs on quite a lot of TSMC processes for purchasers. As a part of the OIP ecosystem, we will now entry the PDKs and convey our complete analog IP portfolio to TSMC course of applied sciences – from excessive energy BCD nodes to straightforward planar nodes, and the most recent superior course of applied sciences.”

Chris continues: “It’s thrilling that our merchandise are getting used for novel functions throughout a wide-range of sectors, together with; automotive, AI, Excessive Efficiency Computing (HPC), and IoT. Demand for information conversion and energy administration options is extraordinarily excessive in the meanwhile, so we count on our ADC, DAC, and LDO merchandise particularly will assist to drive semiconductor innovation.”

Barry Paterson, CEO at Agile Analog, concludes: “We’re delighted to be collaborating intently with TSMC. Our OIP membership permits us to higher serve our rising array of worldwide prospects, particularly these within the areas of AI and HPC engaged on probably the most superior nodes.”

“TSMC values design ecosystem companions and continues working with them to allow next-generation designs with the total spectrum of best-in-class options benefiting from TSMC’s trade main applied sciences,” mentioned Dan Kochpatcharin, Head of the Design Infrastructure Administration Division at TSMC. “Along with IP companions like Agile Analog, we’re capable of assist our mutual prospects overcome design complexity and introduce new digital improvements into the market extra shortly.”
