CHANDLER, Ariz., July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Microchip
Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MCHP), a leading provider of
microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions,
through its Silicon Storage Technology (SST) subsidiary, announced
today that silicon-proven SuperFlash® macros are now
available on SilTerra's 180 nm CMOS technology. The off-the-shelf
macros allow SilTerra customers access to SST's unique SuperFlash
non-volatile memory (NVM) technology in a range of competitive-size
memory blocks.
SST's SuperFlash technology is broadly deployed and in
high-volume production at multiple integrated device manufacturers
(IDMs) and foundry partners like SilTerra. Therefore, SST's
high-density, reliable and high-yielding memory is widely available
to many customers in various markets. By providing pre-qualified
macros up to 2 Mb, SilTerra is enabling its customers with faster
time to market, especially important to customers in the growing
Internet of Things (IoT) and smart card markets.
"We are very pleased with the SST-SilTerra partnership which has
been growing since our first SuperFlash technology licensing
agreement in 2012," said Mark
Reiten, Vice President of Technology Licensing for SST.
"SilTerra's process expertise coupled with the SuperFlash macros of
SST has resulted in the availability of a strong 180 nm platform
for our mutual customers."
SilTerra has served many top-tier global fabless design and
product companies in multiple market segments. They offer CMOS
design and fabrication processes for integrated circuits (ICs) in
advanced logic, mixed signal, radio frequency and high-voltage
applications.
"Since the production release of SST's SuperFlash technology on
SilTerra's 180 nm platform, SilTerra's share of the flash-enabled
applications in microcontrollers and smart cards has been growing
across a broad customer base—along with our portfolio of
silicon-proven macros," said Yit Loong Lai, Senior Vice President
of Worldwide Sales and Marketing for SilTerra. "We now look forward
to expanding the embedded Flash technology to other process
nodes."
