Most advanced power technology available enables customers to
design high voltage ICs in smaller node on 8” wafer for highly
functional integration
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Mar. 13, 2014--
TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader, announces TS18UHV – the
first 700V 8” 0.18um Power platform which allows customers to design in
a smaller node, very high voltage ICs with an ability for highly
functional integration. This also allows integration of an external
power device and is suitable for LED driver applications in general
illumination and primary controllers in power supplies. In addition,
this process offers integration of digital and analog functionality as
well as modularity of the platform to fit different needs for various
applications. TS18UHV provides a competitive power device Rdson and the
best in the industry digital circuit density (up to 125k gates/mm2).
According to data from IHS, the growth of LED lighting and the
continuous improvement in LED pricing drives market growth. The LED
lighting segment will rise to $5.9 billion in 2018, up from $4.2 billion
in 2013 with a 5-year CAGR of 7%, according to IHS. At the same time,
the industrial market segment for analog ICs is expected to rise to $9.2
billion in 2018 from $6.8 billion in 2013 with a 5-year CAGR of 8%.
“TowerJazz is introducing the most advanced 700V 8” technology currently
available. This technology enables our customers to efficiently design
integrated circuits (ICs) for general illumination LED applications,
power supplies and industrial applications,” said Dr. Marco Racanelli,
Sr. VP and GM of Power & RF/HPA Business Groups, TowerJazz. “Competitive
Rdson of the power devices allows for higher efficiency and better
costs. High density digital and analog circuits enable higher
integration of features while modularity of the platform creates
opportunities for choice of modules needed for design.”
TowerJazz will be exhibiting at APEC in Fort Worth, TX on March 17-19,
2014 at booth #314. For more information, please contact Marijana
