Analog intellectual property (IP) vendor Agile Analog is not a member of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co.’s (TSMC) IP Alliance program.
The status will allow Agile’s analog IP to be available to TSMC customers for data conversion, power management, security, IC monitoring and always-on devices.
The IP Alliance includes IP vendors globally for a catalog of silicon-verified and production-ready IP solutions for TSMC’s process technologies. The IP is designed to enable reuse and integration quickly of semiconductor platforms.
“In recent years we have delivered IPs on a variety of TSMC processes for customers. As part of the OIP ecosystem, we can now access the PDKs and bring our entire analog IP portfolio to TSMC process technologies — from high power BCD nodes to standard planar nodes, and the latest advanced process technologies,” said Chris Morrison, director of product marketing at Agile Analog.
TSMC continues to expand its IP portfolio with new offerings from a variety of vendors. Earlier this year, it expanded its agreement with Synopsys to includes its N3E node to use Synopsys’ connectivity IP.
