ON Semiconductor has expanded its intellectual property (IP) portfolio with the addition of more than 30 silicon-proven IP blocks. Customers developing application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) and system-on-chip (SoC) solutions based on the company’s digital and mixed-signal process technologies will now have access to expanded IP for industry-standard interfaces, microcontrollers and peripherals.
Customers for the new IP operate across a variety of industry sectors and application areas including military and aerospace, networking and wireless communications, consumer electronics, automotive and industrial automation. Among the more than 30 silicon-proven IP blocks being added are solutions for industry-standard high-speed interfaces, such as USB 2.0, Ethernet, PCMCIA and PCI. A variety of microcontroller and peripheral options will also be available.
The new synthesizable IP is process-independent, allowing the blocks to be implemented across a variety of ON Semiconductor’s existing and planned ASIC technologies, where technically feasible, from 90nm to 0.5µm. ON Semiconductor can also offer additional design flexibility by tailoring individual blocks to address non-standard requirements.
In addition to enhancing the capabilities of custom ASICs, ON Semiconductor also plans to incorporate the new IP blocks into future generations of its application specific standard products (ASSPs).
