Provider of embedded FPGA (eFPGA) Intellectual Property (IP), Menta SAS, has announced that its eFPGA IP has been selected by Beijing Chongxin Communication Company to enable flexibility in baseband SoCs designed for 5G NR pico cell applications.

China has been the largest consuming country for ICs since 2005, but large increases in IC production within China have not immediately followed, according to data presented in the new 500-page 2019 edition of IC Insights’ ‘McClean Report—A Complete Analysis and Forecast of the Integrated Circuit Industry’ (released in January 2019).

The tapeout of its GDDR6 PHY on TSMCseven nanometre FinFET process technology has been announced by Rambus, and is available from Rambus for licensing today. Leveraging almost 30 years of high-speed interface design expertise and using advanced process technology, Rambus has successfully taped out a GDDR6 PHY IP on TSMC seven nanometre process technology.

Memory and storage solutions provider, Micron Technology, has announced that its GDDR6 memory, Micron's fastest and most powerful graphics memory, will be the high-performance memory of choice supporting Achronix's next-generation stand-alone FPGA products built on TSMC seven nanometre process technology.

The semiconductor industry showed impressive figures in 2017; +21.6% YoY growth to reach about $412bn. Without a doubt, the industry is entering a new age, where innovation and disruption are the key words. In addition to mobile, Yole Développement (Yole) analysts identified emerging mega-drivers that are step by step changing our world.

Eight years have passed since the first commercialised power GaN device. People in the power electronics industry are becoming increasingly familiar with the names of startups that are actively promoting GaN technology. Efficient Power Conversion (EPC), GaN Systems, Transphorm or Navitas, in addition to the power electronics leaders, are also highly involved in the development of GaN technology.

Thalia Design Automationhas introduced advancedanalogue schematic portingcapabilities within its AMALIA analogue design automation tool suite. Configured for users of TSMC, Global Foundries, UMC, SMIC, and in-house technologies of Tier 1 design companies, the AMALIA schematic porting capability is already proven in analogue migration projects to achievedesign time savings of up to 50%.

On the 6th February ARM, a specialist in SoCs and ASICs, hosted a seminar for technology companies which took place in Hannover, Germany. The purpose of the event was to show how customers can benefit from customisation of the SoCs they use, together with ARM and its approved partners. Silicon customisation helpsto make existing architectures even more power efficient.

IC Insights is in the process of completing its forecast and analysis of the IC industry and will present its new findings in The McClean Report 2019, which will be published later this month. Among the semiconductor industry data included in the new 400+ page report is an in-depth analysis of the IC foundry market and its suppliers.
