[May 20, 2013] Microsemi selects Intel's onshore foundry technology for development of ICs Tweet May 20, 2013 (Datamonitor via COMTEX) -- Microsemi Corporation, a provider of semiconductor solutions, has announced that it is leveraging Intel Corporation's onshore foundry technology for the development of advanced high-performance digital integrated circuits, or ICs, and system-on-chip, or SoC, solutions using Intel's 22 nanometer, or nm, 3-D Tri-Gate transistor technology. Intel's Tri-Gate transistors enable Microsemi to develop digital ICs for high-performance computing, network acceleration and signal processing applications. Microsemi is currently engaged with customers and has started designs utilizing Intel's 22nm process node with product delivery anticipated to begin in late 2014 to early 2015, Microsemi said. "The high-value applications we address require semiconductor solutions with unique performance and complex functional attributes," said Paul Pickle, executive vice president of Microsemi's Integrated Circuits group. "Using Intel's innovative process technology and silicon-proven IP will enable us to expand our opportunity in the markets we serve with higher-performance, lower-power digital ICs for the communications and defense markets." "Intel is pleased to manufacture Microsemi's digital IC solutions utilizing Intel's leading 22nm process technology and IP solutions," said Sunit Rikhi, vice president, Technology and Manufacturing Group, Intel. http://www.datamonitor.com Republication or redistribution, including by framing or similar means, is expressly prohibited without prior written consent.
