Jazz
Semiconductor is to fabricate a range of IC devices for Phyworks that include
physical layer products for WAN, LAN, SAN and FTTH applications. Jazz
Semiconductor's 0.35 and 0.18 micron Silicon Germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS processes
will be used to design high-speed networking ICs, including transimpedance amps
(TIAs) and highly integrated laser drivers and limiting amplifiers.
"We
chose Jazz as our foundry partner for the flexibility, availability, service
and support the company provides," said Tim Esparon, VP of manufacturing
operations. "We also required a company that was focused on high-speed
process technologies with a long-term roadmap that aligned with our product
needs. Jazz currently offers successive generations of its SiGe BiCMOS process,
as well as advanced RFCMOS. This will support the features that will enable
Phyworks to continue pursuing innovative designs as we focus on capturing
market share in our next-generation products."
