Dialog Semiconductor and TSMC to create a process platform to advance BCD power management
March 29, 2012 // Paul Buckley
Dialog Semiconductor plc is working closely with TSMC to develop the company’s next generation of bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology specifically tailored to high-performance power management ICs (PMICs) for portable devices.
The new ICs feature the industry’s first 0.13-micron BCD tailored for portable devices that deliver increased component density and enabling higher voltage power management integration.
The BCD process can support the integration of advanced logic, analog and high-voltage features, including FET type transistors. The process will also enable Dialog to create even more highly integrated, smaller form factor single chip devices optimized for portable products such as tablet PCs, ultrabooks and smart phones. The transition to 0.13-micron enhances a PMICs power efficiency through a reduction of Rds(on), leading to more energy efficient integrated circuit (IC) designs.
“Through close collaboration with TSMC we succeeded to increase our chip shipments by a staggering 61 percent last year, while at the same time accelerating the development of our next generation of PMICs through this BCD process partnership,” said Dr. Jalal Bagherli, CEO of Dialog Semiconductor. “We will continue to work closely with TSMC to fuel our leadership position as the analog industry moves towards 300mm wafers.”
A broad range of proprietary Dialog IP blocks, based on the TSMC 0.13-micron BCD process, have already been developed for incorporation into Dialog’s next generation PMICs, and are currently being qualified with the first devices expected to be available by the end of the year. The designs will deliver the industry’s leading power management performance for portable devices.

The development platform for i.MX 6Quad from element14 (built to the Freescale SABRE Lite design) is an evaluation platform featuring the powerful i.MX 6Q, a multimedia application processor with Quad ARM Cortex-A9 cores at 1.2 GHz from Freescale Semiconductor.
This month, Freescale and element14 are giving away five such platforms, worth £128.06 each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The platform helps evaluate the rich set of peripherals and includes a 10/100/Gb Ethernet port, SATA-II, HDMI v1.4, LVDS, parallel RGB interface, touch screen interface, analog headphone/microphone, micro TF and SD card interface, USB, serial port, JTAG, camera interface, and input keys for Android.
And the winners are...
In our previous reader offer, Pico Technology was giving away one of its recently launched PicoScope 3207B, a 2-channel USB 3.0 oscilloscope worth 1451 Euros. Lucky winner Mr L. Sanchez-Gonzalez from Spain should be receiving his PicoScope 3207B soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with his projects.
