GlobalFoundries Unveils Power-Efficient Advancements to 22FDX® Platform at Annual Tech Summit
27 September 2023 - 8:00PM
Today at its annual Technology Summit in Europe, GlobalFoundries
(GF) (Nasdaq: GFS) announced advancements to its industry-leading
22FDX® (22nm FD-SOI) platform, introducing a suite of innovative
features and enhancements. These enhancements represent a strategic
response to the growing demand for better power efficiency and
top-tier performance in both IoT and automotive applications.
The new features include ultra-low power memory, designed to
operate with exceptional energy efficiency, even in the most
power-sensitive environments. Additionally, GF’s 22FDX platform
introduces advanced temperature-resistant capabilities, which are
critical for the auto industry as they ensure the long-term
durability, reliability and safety of vehicle electronic systems,
particularly in high-heat environments found under the hood and
during demanding operations. The technology also offers optimized
energy management, allowing for intelligent power consumption and
improved battery life in a variety of devices.
In the rapidly expanding network of IoT devices, new features on
22FDX+ offer several advancements, including 0.5pA/cell memories
and ultra-low retention leakage flops to minimize power in sleep
mode; 0.4V standard cells libraries and memories with 30% lower
power savings; and an expanded suite of devices that provide
greater than 20% noise performance, up to 70% higher Q-factor, and
lower switching loss to reduce analog power and area.
For the automotive industry, GF announced 22FDX+ AutoPro150™.
This offering extends the capabilities of 22FDX+ for use in
automotive up to 150°C with corner tightened standard cell
libraries and optimized SRAM compilers to boost chip performance by
10% or reduce power consumption by up to 20%. Novel SRAM bitcells
and compilers that are optimized with reverse body-biasing, a
capability only possible in FDSOI technology, can deliver up to 60%
leakage reduction at 150°C junction temperature.
"GlobalFoundries is at the forefront of tackling power
consumption challenges in IoT and automotive industries, where
achieving the lowest power possible is paramount. With our
world-class wireless connectivity and our smart and secure chips,
we're driving the development of intelligent connected devices that
can operate under harsh environments with the best power
efficiency. GF is uniquely positioned to empower billions of
connected devices to operate efficiently, and we're proud to
partner with industry leaders like Nordic Semiconductor to deliver
a compact, ultra-low power, high-performance chip with advanced
memory, multiprotocol radio and top-tier security features,” said
Niels Anderskouv, Chief Business Officer at GF.
"Decades of ultra-low-power wireless expertise have come
together to form the nRF54 Series," said Svein-Egil Nielsen, CTO
and EVP of R&D at Nordic Semiconductor. "We're pleased to
partner with GF on this journey. Our first SoC from the fourth
generation of Bluetooth LE solutions, the nRF54H20, not only
represents a significant milestone for Nordic but also allows
Nordic’s customers to build end-products far more advanced and
efficient than those we see today. This SoC, the inaugural offering
in the nRF54 Series, proves ideal for disruptive IoT applications
that require high processing power, exceptional energy efficiency,
and state-of-the-art security."
