SST Announces Qualification of Smartbit™ OTP NVM Technology for ON Semiconductor’s 110 nm CMOS Process
May 23 2017 - 8:03AM
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 that ON Semiconductor (NASDAQ:ON), driving
energy efficient innovations, has qualified SST’s Smartbit™
One-Time Programmable (OTP) Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology
for SP110, ON Semiconductor’s 110 nm process node.
SST continues to expand support for its SmartBit
OTP technology at many foundries and companies like ON
Semiconductor. The addition of SST’s SmartBit OTP complements
the high-reliability, IP-rich, digital and analog offering
available in ON Semiconductor’s SP110 standard cell
ASIC technology, which is manufactured in Gresham,
Oregon.
“With qualification in SP110, SST and ON
Semiconductor have reached the first important milestone in our
relationship,” said Mark Reiten, vice president of Technology
Licensing for SST. “The use of dynamic programming in our
cutting-edge Smartbit OTP technology has met the high-reliability
standard set by ON Semiconductor.”
SST’s SmartBit OTP solution significantly reduces
production costs by implementing a high-density antifuse technology
in standard logic Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)
without additional process steps. The Smartbit bit cell design
maximizes both device reliability and programming yield while
offering faster programming and access time than other OTP
technologies.
“ON Semiconductor provides a comprehensive
portfolio of custom and standard solutions to help design engineers
address their unique design requirements and challenges. We are
pleased that SST’s SmartBit OTP technology is now part of our SP110
IP portfolio,” said Vince Hopkin, senior vice president of Digital
and DC-DC Solutions.
