The agreement will see TSMC, a dedicated semiconductor foundry, supply long-term wafer capacity through Japan Advanced Semiconductor Manufacturing (JASM), TSMC’s majority-owned manufacturing subsidiary in Kumamoto Prefecture, Japan.
Building on ADI’s existing long-term partnership with TSMC, this agreement adds another option for ADI in securing additional capacity of fine-pitch technology nodes to serve critical platforms across its business, including wireless BMS (wBMS) and Gigabit Multimedia Serial Link (GMSL) applications.
The joint efforts reinforce ADI’s resilient hybrid manufacturing network, helping it to better deal with external factors while supporting the means to increase output and scale rapidly to meet customer needs.
“Our hybrid manufacturing network helps deliver a competitive edge to our customers. Together with TSMC, we can serve our customers with more resilient supplies, respond even more rapidly to customer needs and changing market conditions, and focus our investments on innovative manufacturing solutions that benefit society and the planet,” said Vivek Jain, Executive Vice President of Global Operations & Technology at ADI.
