IN2FAB Technology 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. Founded in
2001, IN2FAB has delivered
hundreds of migrated
circuits ranging from small
analog IP designs through to
large mixed signal chips.

Migration and Design Reuse
The reuse of existing circuits and silicon IP has become critical in the
production of new electronics technology. System on chip designs must make
use of pre-defined circuits where possible to allow designers to build complex
circuits and concentrate on new functionality. While digital systems can be
re-generated from high-level descriptions, analog and mixed signal circuits are
usually designed manually at extremely high cost in both time and resources.

IN2FAB's migration
software and services have
been applied across the
entire spectrum of silicon
processes to migrate designs
between foundries and
processes in a fraction of
the time taken for a
redesign. Circuit
designs have been translated
in CMOS, BiCMOS and SiGe in
processes that range from
large geometry legacy
semiconductors to the most
advanced nanometer
processes.
Sample projects include:
- 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
circuits delivers higher
reliability and
accelerated time to market.
