The specifications of power management products (voltage blocking, high-current sourcing, precision) demand a correspondingly flexible semiconductor process. ICPower has worked with pure-play and captive foundries to deliver successful projects.

Foundry Experience

High-Voltage Processes. These typically combine high-voltage devices with ordinary signal-level MOS and bipolar transistors, along with a variety of resistor, capacitor, and diode structures. This flexibility makes them a natural choice for power management applications. ICPower has considerable experience with several high-voltage processes, including

• PolarFab PBC4
• Freescale SmartMOS8
• Freescale SmartMOS7
• 0.35-micron UMC CMOS with high-voltage overlay

CMOS Processes. ICPower also has experience with ordinary CMOS processes, including those that support embedded non-volatile Flash memory, such as

• 0.18-micron Samsung ASIC CMOS
• 0.25-micron TSMC CMOS with embedded Flash
