SMSC Licenses Cosmic Circuits IP
Update: Cadence Completes Acquisition of Cosmic Circuits (May 23, 2013)
Bangalore, INDIA and Campbell, California, June 29, 2011 - Cosmic Circuits, a leading provider of Analog and Mixed-Signal Silicon IP Cores announced that SMSC, a leading semiconductor company enabling content rich connectivity systems, has licensed Cosmic Circuits IP for use in its product development.
Cosmic Circuits offers a broad portfolio of differentiated Analog IP cores in nanometer technology nodes covering Data-Converters, Analog-Front-End platforms for Wireless and Audio, Power-Management, Clocking and MIPI Interfaces.
Cosmic Circuits has a portfolio of more than 300+ cores covering process technologies from 0.18u to 28nm. Cosmic Circuits power management portfolio consists of DC/DC Buck, DC/DC Boost, DC/DC Buck Boost, Low Drop out regulators, Power–On-Reset, Capacitive charge pumps, USB battery chargers and High precision band-gap references.
Ganapathy Subramaniam, CEO of Cosmic Circuits, commented, “We are very happy to enable SMSC with our solutions to meet their aggressive design requirements. SMSC’s specification called for stringent requirements on leakage current as well as high-voltage tolerance. Using design techniques that we have perfected at Cosmic over several successful implementations, we were able to meet the system requirements on the first-pass silicon in a standard CMOS process.”
Hemi Bhatnagar, Vice President of Engineering of SMSC commented that “We needed a partner who had a proven track record in providing Analog/Mixed Signal solutions with a wide-portfolio and a willingness to customize to our needs. Cosmic Circuits along with strong technical expertise provided strong support and excellent project execution resulting in first pass working silicon.”
