Dongbu HiTek Produced PMICs in Volume

Published:2011/11/11 1:24:00 Author:Phyllis From:SeekIC

Dongbu HiTek announced that it has begun in volume producing power management ICs (PMICs) for Leaderchip Technology Co.,Ltd. At the 0.18um node, the Dongbu HiTek’s low-voltage BCDMOS process (BD180LV) specifies outstanding reliability characteristics while operating over a broad 7V-to-30V range.

Dongbu HiTek always tried to expand support of semiconductor development in China. This time Leaderchip Technology chooses the company’s specialized processing to implement its analog-intensive device. Leaderchip’s new PMICs will be targeting mobile internet device (MID) and GPS applications.

By specifying the industry’s lowest specific on-resistance (Rsp), the BD180LV process raised the performance bar for advanced BCDMOS process. Dongbu HiTek insists its BD180LV process surpasses all foundry offerings and even challenges the very best IDMs can deliver in terms of Rsp, breakdown voltage and reliability.

Dongbu HiTek is looking forward to carry on its partnership with Leaderchip Technology. The company believes its specialized Analog CMOS process (AN180) at the 0.18um node is ideal for implementing Leaderchip’s converters for set top box, networking, adapter and automotive audio applications.

With the opening of customer service/sales office in Shanghai and Shenzhen early this year, Dongbu HiTek has steadily expanded its base of customers in the burgeoning Chinese semiconductor market. The Korean company anticipates deepening its Chinese market penetration by offering the broadest choice of PMIC processing technologies.

The worldwide PMIC market is forecast to exceed 43 billion dollars in 2015, posting a 7.2% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the prior five years. The PMIC market in China is expected to approach 15 billion dollars in 2015, posting a 9.7% CAGR over the same five years as it commands about one-third of the worldwide total.
