Built with Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process technology on an advanced 65nm node, this platform provides the foundation for a wide range of power and sensing solutions from onsemi including high-performance and low-power sensing, high-efficiency power management, and purpose-built communications devices.
According to onsemi, by using this single, scalable solution, customers will be able to simplify and accelerate product development for existing applications, and rapidly respond to emerging market opportunities.
Increasing power demands in automotive, industrial, and AI data centre markets in parallel with stricter environmental regulations are driving a need for greater energy efficiency, while at the same time these industries are requiring greater performance and functionality in end applications.
In addition, low power devices such as medical wearables are becoming more sophisticated, requiring more intelligence and better efficiency to improve personal care and reduce device costs.
All this is creating the need for highly integrated, advanced power and sensing solutions capable of delivering greater intelligence while simultaneously delivering greater energy efficiency across the entire power spectrum.
The Treo Platform looks to address these growing needs by offering superior performance and features, while supporting the industry’s widest voltage range on a leading node. According to onsemi, products built on the Treo Platform can achieve significant improvements in accuracy, performance and efficiency that result in an improvement in function, safety and overall quality of life.
In automotive, for example, high-performance ultrasonic sensors can improve accuracy by a factor of two, meaning they can detect objects that are much closer to the vehicle than before in park assist applications. With the ability to detect objects at closer distances, the park assist system can provide better collision avoidance and improve overall safety by helping drivers avoid obstacles more effectively when parking.
In data centres, the Treo Platform will enable more compact onsemi smart power stages, contributing to efficiency improvements in power delivery to GPUs and CPUs. This can lead to reduced cooling requirements and substantial energy savings, resulting in lower operational costs and a smaller, more sustainable environmental footprint.
The Treo Platform features a modular, SoC-like architecture with a robust set of ever-evolving IP building blocks that make up the compute, power management, sensing, and communications subsystems.
Built on the 65nm process node, the Treo Platform offers advanced digital processing capabilities and better analogue IP performance and, with these capabilities, the platform can deliver local intelligence and compute for flexible configuration, as well as significantly improve performance and accuracy in end applications.
Additionally, the platform supports the industry’s widest voltage range of 1-90V and operating temperatures up to 175° C, which allows customers to integrate a range of low-to-high power functionality.
Initial product families built on the Treo Platform are currently sampling, including voltage translators, ultra-low-power AFEs, LDOs, ultrasonic sensors, multi-phase controllers, and single-pair Ethernet controllers.
Through 2025, onsemi said that it will look to deliver an even broader array of product families adding more system-level value, including: high performance sensors, DC-DC converters, automotive LED drivers, electrical safety ICs, and connectivity.
