Inapac Technology and eSilicon Partner on SiP Program; eSilicon to Offer Inapac SIPFLOW Memory IP and Methodology to Enable SiP Applications
SAN JOSE and SUNNYVALE, CA -- June 2,2006 -- Inapac Technology, Inc., and eSilicon Corporation today announced that eSilicon has added Inapac's proven SiPFLOW™ design-for-test (DFT) intellectual property (IP) to its technology portfolio. With the SiPFLOW platform, eSilicon's custom integrated circuit (IC) customers can quickly and cost-effectively implement system-in-package (SiP) devices for use in high-volume applications that require the reduced form factor of a single-package implementation.
The Inapac SiPFLOW platform makes it easier and less expensive to integrate memory into SiP and multi-chip package (MCP) devices, combining SiP/MCP-optimized memory IP with a complete, integrated test infrastructure. The methodology eliminates much of the extra cost involved in producing known good die (KGD), and results in unsurpassed final-product reliability levels. Inapac has proven its DFT IP with a low-power, 16M-bit SDRAM design that has been used in more than 10 million shipped units.
"Adding Inapac's industry-proven SiPFLOW platform to eSilicon's broad IP portfolio will provide our customers with significant benefits," said Hugh Durdan, Vice President of Marketing, eSilicon. "The combination of eSilicon's custom chip expertise and our SiPFLOW platform-enhanced IP portfolio will enable the industry's leading electronics companies to quickly and cost-effectively implement small form-factor ICs for their high-volume applications."
The Inapac SiPFLOW platform addresses the challenges of ensuring the quality of KGD memory components and achieving consistent, reliable system assembly. To support these goals, it integrates a unique and proprietary test bus that allows for full test without burn-in, as well as testing of the finished SiP/MCP.
"We're pleased to partner with eSilicon to address memory requirements for high-volume consumer applications," said Richard Egan, CEO of Inapac. "Inapac's IP and methodology enable media-rich capabilities in consumer devices at highly attractive price points."
