Cosmic Circuits tapes out MIPI MPHY in 85nm

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

Bangalore, INDIA and Campbell, California, 30th August, 2011:-Cosmic Circuits, a leading provider of differentiated Analog and Mixed-Signal IP cores, today announced the tape out of its MIPI MPHY solution in 85nm for use in eMMC devices.

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 MPHY solution is developed in 85LP and is mainly targeted for UFS applications that will find use in eMMC devices. The MPHY supports both the HS-G1 (1.5Gbps) and HS-G2 (3Gbps) modes and can be used in other MPHY-based applications such as DigRFv4, LLI and CSI-3. Given its anticipated wide-spread usage and the need for multiple configurations, the implementation of the IP has been kept modular enabling rapid customization for any configuration.

The Director of IP of Cosmic Circuits, Sundararajan Krishnan, commented that “We are contributor members with the MIPI alliance group and are committed to providing MIPI solutions in various technology nodes. We also work closely with our controller partners to provide our customers with a complete (PHY + controller) solution. Our MIPI solutions are getting integrated into the SoC’s of leading fabless companies around the world and we expect to see increased adoption of our solutions as we continue to expand our portfolio. We also have the MPHY silicon proven in 40nm and application boards with the Cosmic Circuits MPHY test-chip and the controller on FPGA are available upon request to select customers.””
