Inova Semiconductors to use Samsung Foundry Services for ISELED products

On 7th August the companies have announced that Inova Semiconductors intends to produce its ISELED smart LED controller products also at Samsung Foundry in Korea as multi source to their existing foundry. The start of long-term mass production is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2024.

Inova's ISELED technology - also called the "Digital LED" - is already being used on a large scale by numerous car manufacturers in Europe, but above all in Asia. Thanks to the simplicity of use - there is no need for binning or user-calibration - and the trend to central/domain-based architectures ISELED is penetrating the market very quickly. Fully supported by the ISELED Alliance, a consortium of more than 50 lighting companies from around the globe - major Tier 1s, equipment manufacturers, light designers a.o. - Inova assumes that the mark of one billion ISELED chips per year will already be reached in 2026.

Gibong Jeong, Executive Vice President and Head of Foundry Business Development Team at Samsung Electronics commented, "Automotive semiconductors are a field that requires technological stability and reliability based on research and development experience. We hope that new automotive customers like Inova can lead the innovation and technological development of next-generation future cars based on Samsung Foundry's process technology leadership."
