Cosmic Circuits tapes out Clocking Solutions in 55nm

Update: Cadence Completes Acquisition of Cosmic Circuits (May 23, 2013)

Bangalore, INDIA and Campbell, California, 27th April, 2011:- Cosmic Circuits, a leading provider of differentiated Analog and Mixed-Signal IP cores, today announced the tape out of its clocking solutions in 55nm.

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.

The system-clocking PLLs are implemented in 55nm process technology, and will offer SoC designers a wide range of analog and digital PLLs to choose from – these include PLLs that support input frequencies ranging from 32 kHz- 1600 MHz without requiring any external components, PLLs that occupies extremely low core area, and spread-spectrum PLLs for EMI suppression.

The Director of IP of Cosmic Circuits Sundararajan Krishnan commented that “We are very committed to a PLL roadmap that extends into the advanced process nodes and this tape-out is a significant step in that direction. We now have PLLs available in the 28nm, 55nm and 65nm process technologies and will complete our offering in the low-power flavors with the soon-to-be-available 40nm PLLs. We have taken a lot of care in specifying the features of these IPs to provide our SoC customers ample choice in PLL selection”
