IN2FAB Technology
IN2FAB is a world-leading specialist in the migration of semiconductors between foundries and processes. With its production proven migration technology, IN2FAB has provided tools and services to a wide range of customers including IP vendors, fabless companies and IDMs. Since its founding in 2001, IN2FAB has been enabling its customers to migrate:
- Entire analog IP libraries including PLLs, ADCs and DACs to next generation geometry nodes reaching full silicon functional status in a fraction of the redesign times.
- Complex IP including PCIe, USB 2.0, HDMI, MIPI in less than 10 weeks to tapeout standard in a new foundry and process design kit
- Application and sub-system IP including: WLAN; Bluetooth; GSM; 3G in less than 12 weeks to complete tapeout standard
IN2FAB’s patented migration tools and services are delivering significant market advantage to its customers. Early availability of semiconductor IP in the chosen foundry or process mean lower costs and higher return on resources along with lower risk and higher quality of result. The extensively automated reuse of existing and proven design structures delivers higher reliability and accelerated time to market.
Migration and Design Reuse
Design reuse is a critical requirement common in virtually all designs in the industry and therefore IN2FAB’s migration solution provides a key enabling capability.
IN2FAB’s migration services and technology have been applied across the entire spectrum of silicon process technology encompassing CMOS, BiCMOS and SiGe. In advanced CMOS processes IN2FAB has delivered significant numbers migrated designs in advanced processes.
