We provide a unique digital and mixed-signal portfolio, flexible manufacturing and a non-obsolescence foundry process policy that is well matched to the needs of medical device applications. Through its low-power, low-voltage capability, low data rate wireless, sensor interface experience, FPGA-to-ASIC conversion expertise, system level integration, and commitment to process longevity, we offer a complete silicon solution within these key medical markets.
System architects can assist you in developing an ASIC specification for your next generation ASIC. Our strong development organization of over 200 mixed-signal design engineers and close to 100 digital design engineers give us the critical mass and experience needed to meet all your system level ASIC requirements.
Medical device manufacturers are turning more and more to wireless solutions for their applications. With products such as low data rate wireless transceivers, we are an ideal partner for this emerging market within the medical electronics marketplace. Our wireless products have been developed in our standard processes specifically for integration into system level designs and are ideally suited to provide medical device manufacturers with a reduced system cost, low power, scalable SoC that integrates modular transmitter, receiver and transceiver functions onto a single chip.
Process longevity is key to medical device manufacturers. We understand that manufacturers of medical devices must often dedicate years just to qualify their products through the FDA, FCC and other regulatory agencies. The foundry team appreciates that products used in medical applications require long-term support. In fact, we have built a reputation for keeping needed processes available to accommodate its customers' long-term needs. Many of our processes have been available for more than 15 years.
