ShortLink offers turnkey ASIC development from initial concept through development up to and including mass production supply chain management.
"We have a track record of many successful ASIC projects in a variety of X-FAB 350 nm and 180 nm process technologies and X-FAB is our go-to supplier for high-voltage projects, or those with demanding analogue requirements and is frequently a contender for conventional mixed-signal projects,", said August Pansell, Chairman of the board at ShortLink.
X-FAB has also selected ShortLink as an IP provider on the X-FAB IP Portal. ShortLink's portfolio of 17 IP cores includes a 12-bit SAR ADC, a 20-bit Sigma-Delta ADC, a high-voltage DAC, a 400 Volt H-bridge, and configurable voltage regulators.
According to Pansell, "ShortLink has been working on expanding the reach of our silicon IP licensing business model. Our acceptance into the X-FAB IP Portal indicates that the efforts are paying off. This listing will help customers unfamiliar with ShortLink discover our IP cores. "
X-FAB operates six wafer manufacturing plants worldwide, producing wafers using their in-house developed and optimised process technologies for analogue and mixed-signal applications.
"It is of great importance for X-FAB to offer its customers a stable network of partner companies. ShortLink is a great addition to our partner programme as they not only bring expertise in mixed-signal IC design and supply chain management but also can offer a broad portfolio of circuit IP blocks," said Lars Bergmann, X-FAB’s Director Design Support.
Through X-Chain and IP Portal, X-FAB provides customers with data about qualified design and supply chain partners worldwide. The network brings together companies that have successfully worked with X-FAB in chip development or other areas such as test, assembly, supply chain management or turnkey IC solutions.
