MagnaChip, a designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, has announced that it now offers foundry customers its third generation 0.18 micron Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process technology. The technology is highly suitable for PMIC, DC/DC converters, battery charger ICs, protection ICs, motor driver ICs, LED driver ICs and audio amplifiers.

MagnaChip has announced that it has released a low noise, low power consumption, fast transient LDO (Low Dropout) regulator that also can be designed into BGA (Ball Grid Array) SSD (Solid State Drive) components commonly used in mobile devices. An LDO regulator is a power standard product whose function can be designed into various components.

Designer and manufacturer of analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products, MagnaChip Semiconductor has offered Foundry customers a 0.18 micron BCD (Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS) 200V high-voltage process. This new BCD process uses SOI (Silicon On Insulator) substrates with solid high-voltage isolation and extends MagnaChip’s existing BCD processes from 100 to 200V. 

MagnaChip will hold a Foundry Technology Symposium at the Shangri-La in Shenzhen, China, on November 27, 2018. After holding a successful Foundry Technology symposium in Shenzhen, China in 2015, this second technology symposium in Shenzhen is part of MagnaChip’s global foundry targeted geographic strategy to increase MagnaChip’s brand awareness in China.

Volume production from MagnaChip of a new Display Driver IC (DDIC) for automotive panel displays has begun. The company is planning to expand its business to various automotive display applications in the market, starting with the design-win of new product at a Japanese panel maker of automotive CSD (Center Stack Display) panels.

  Analog and mixed-signal semiconductor platform solutions provider, MagnaChip Semiconductor, has announced the introduction of a new High-Voltage Super Junction MOSFET with a 900V breakdown voltage and low total gate charge (Qg) (‘90R1K4P’). 

MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation has announced that it now offers planar-type Hall-effect sensors for foundry customers. The Hall-effect sensor has been adopted by the market for an increasing number of applications, such as smartphone cameras for the closed-loop auto focus feature and for the auto iris function.

  Designer and manufacturer of analogue and mixed-signal semiconductor products, MagnaChip has announced the availability of 0.13 micron Multiple-Time Programmable Intellectual Property (MTP-IP) memory cores targeted for mobile and industrial applications.

How sensor technology is changing in order to meet growing demand from the handheld device sector. Dr Seong-Min Choe, Team Manager of New Market Development, Display Solutions Division, MaganChip Semiconductor, discusses in this ES Design magazine article.

MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation today announced the launch of an advanced 4-channel LED backlight unit (BLU) driver IC (Model: MAP3242) that features a 50% increase in driving power making it ideally suited for TV applications.

MagnaChip Semiconductor Corporation has launched a series of 4 channel LED drivers for use in LED monitors and LED-TV applications. These new device drivers from MagnaChip are designed to fit the back light unit structures of the latest LED monitors and televisions. Each channel has the equivalent of a 150mA/65V current balance MOSFET embedded in it that is capable of driving up to 20 LEDs in a 40W LED backlight unit.
