Dialog Semiconductor and TSMC partners on bipolar-CMOS-DMOS tech

Dialog Semiconductor and TSMC have collaborated to develop a bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology based high-performance power management ICs for portable devices such as smartphones, e-books, netbooks.

IP blocks, based on TSMC's 0.25um BCD process nodes, have developed for incorporation into Dialog's PMICs to enable the creation of small form factor devices with reduced power consumption.

"Close collaboration for innovative technology with our foundry partners is key to Dialog's strategic business model, which accelerates the development of the highest level of power management integration in the industry," said Dr Jalal Bagherli CEO of Dialog Semiconductor. "Through our ongoing and longstanding collaboration with TSMC, we are able to provide our customers with validated low-power technologies to manage their power management needs and meet aggressive time-to-market goals."

"TSMC consistently delivers cutting edge technology platforms that include integrated design collaterals," said Jason Chen, Vice President of Worldwide Sales and Marketing at TSMC. "Dialog is one of the technology leaders, bringing the best power management experiences possible to portable users through extended battery lifetime in portable devices. We are proud to be a strategic supplier to them."
