Foundries umc with its factory jointly announced the wisdom of the original 3, IC design, think the original published on 28 nm HPCU umc process, programming design 12.5 Gbps high-speed solution string device (SerDes) of physical layer silicon ipr IP (PHY) solution. The wisdom of the original SerDes PHY carried out successful combination of umc, for 28 nm umc High dielectric Metal Gate (High - K/Metal Gate) after the Gate technology Cheng Ping taichung, a series of High speed I/O the first step in the solution.

Learned, by adopting covers 1.25 Gbps to 12.5 Gbps architecture can write programming technology, the wisdom of the original published in umc SerDes PHY, can easily support 10 g / 1 g xPON passive optical network communications equipment. Combining different PCS physical coding sublayer in the circuit, can support SGMI, XAUI, QSGMI I, I USB3.1, PCIe 3.0, NVM Express, SATA 3 interface standard, etc.

In addition, through the height of the original SerDes PHY integration flexibility, customers can shorten the SoC in umc 28 HPCU platform design cycle, and satisfy from commercial grade efficient device equipped with to wear the application of low power consumption requirements. At present, the wisdom of the original special applications in communications and multimedia chip, with 28 nm umc HPCU process yield gradually improve, think the original silicon began to get actively involved in relevant ipr cloth plan, in the future to strive for more customer commissioned design case.

Wisdom of the original technology operating officer Lin Shiqin said, as the evolution of the higher order process, the system single chip (SoC) integration complexity unceasingly to promote. In order to support various high-speed interface standard of low power consumption, high speed SerDes yuan become affect SoC system efficiency of the key circuit design techniques. 28 nm and High - K/Metal Gate process of advanced manufacturing technology for the mainstream, umc 28 HPCU show the efficiency of its technical performance. Contains 12.5 G SerDes, published the advantages of the original combined with umc 28 HPCU process, customers can bring more cost-effective high speed I/O solutions.

Umc silicon ipr development and design support in JianShan senior vice President, jay also points out that intelligence was umc IP suppliers long-term cooperation, can fully grasping the processing characteristics of umc, in every system of existing Cheng Ping platform provides a considerable amount of silicon verification IP. In the future, think the original programmable SerDes IP in 28 HPCU platform resources, can help customers to expand much higher levels of product markets.
