ON Semiconductor has announced the availability of a System-on-Chip (SoC) family of devices based on GLOBALFOUNDRIES's 55 nm Low Power Extended (55LPx), RF-enabled process technology platform. ON Semiconductor’s new RSL10 products are based on a multi-protocol Bluetooth 5 certified radio SoC capable of supporting the advanced wireless functionalities in IoT and “Connected” Health and Wellness markets.
Bluetooth low energy technology continues to advance as the key enabler for connecting IoT devices, especially with low power consumption requirements. GF’s 55LPx platform - with its low power logic and highly reliable embedded SuperFlash memory combined with ON Semiconductor’s design, has delivered wearable SoC technology at 55 nm, with industry leading energy efficiency. The RSL10 family offers the lowest power consumption in Deep Sleep Mode and Peak Receiving Mode, enabling ultra-long battery life, and supporting functionalities like Firmware Over the Air updates. The new RSL10 SoCs use these advanced features to address a wide range of applications including wearables and IoT edge-node devices such as smart locks and appliances.
GF’s 55nm LPx RF-enabled platform provides a fast path-to-product solution that includes silicon qualified RF IP and Silicon Storage Technology’s (SST) highly reliable embedded SuperFlash memory featuring:
- Very fast read speed (<10ns)
- Small bitcell size
- Superior data retention (> 20 years)
- Superior endurance (> 200K cycles)
- Fully qualified for Auto Grade 1 operation (AEC-Q100)
GF’s 55LPx eFlash platform has been in volume production at the foundry’s 300 mm line in Singapore since 2015. The 55LPx eFlash platform is a cost effective solution for a broad range of products, ranging from wearable devices to automotive MCUs.
Customers can start optimizing their chip designs with GF’s process design kits, enabling designers to develop differentiated eFlash solutions that require cost effective performance, low power consumption, and superior reliability in extreme environments.
