June 17 2019 - 06:00AM
NEWS ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Enabling applications with a voltage
range of up to 140V
Addressing the fast-growing demand for
higher voltage power management ICs in the consumer, industrial,
computer and automotive markets
MIGDAL HAEMEK, Israel, June 17,
2019 – TowerJazz, the global specialty foundry leader,
today announced the release of its leading edge 140V low Rdson
power platform, providing significant high power efficiency at high
voltages. This advanced offering expands the Company’s 90V
technology platform, specifically designed to address the
increasing demand for cost-competitive, higher voltage integrated
power management solutions for the consumer, industrial, computer,
and automotive markets.
“We are excited to announce the availability of
our unique 140V RESURF low Rdson platform, targeted toward the
expanding 48V ecosystem, serving multitude of market segments with
numerous strategic customers already in early design stages,
planning to ramp up to mass production in 2020,” said Shimon
Greenberg, Vice President of Power Management &
Mixed-Signal/CMOS Business Unit, TowerJazz.
TowerJazz’s 140V RESURF (Reduced Surface Field)
technology is based on its mature high volume 0.18um power
management platform and provides significant competitive features
such as low-side and high-side low Rdson LDMOS, bootstrap diodes
and floating capabilities, all with up to 140V breakdown voltages.
With low layer count and use of bulk wafers, this platform is
highly cost-effective, and therefore ideally suited for gate
drivers, motor drivers, DC-DC converters and battery management ICs
used for consumer and industrial products such as drones, robots,
power and garden tools.
“With this advanced platform expansion, we are
particularly excited to serve the rapidly growing automotive
electrification market,” said Dr. Amol Kalburge, head of the
automotive program, TowerJazz. “We are already in volume production
for battery management system for electrified vehicles using our
current 140V DrainISO floating process. This new 140V RESURF
platform provides all the features needed for our customers to
improve even further the power efficiency of several best-in-class
products and do so in an even smaller footprint.”
In addition, this new platform addresses the 48V
DC-DC converters in data centers and high voltage power over
Ethernet ICs. It also supports a wide range of automotive
applications such as motor controllers and drivers, LED headlights,
eFuses and 48V power architecture in hybrid and electric
vehicles.
