A half-rate decision feedback equalizer (DFE) with two infinite impulse response (IIR) filters and one discrete-time tap is presented. The two IIR filters have different time constants to cancel the ...

Since the inception of Qualcomm's first 28nm LP SoC product in 2011, a series of smart mobile SoC chips have been ramped into high volume successfully. In this paper, we describe the key elements in ...

By developing 28nm lithography capabilities, China aims to reduce its reliance on foreign suppliers, strengthening its domestic supply chain. This progress sets the stage for future advancements.

Taiwan-based TSMC wants its clients in those sectors to move to 28nm nodes. TSMC recently indicated it won't grow manufacturing capacity for process nodes older than 28nm.

Leading-edge processes (<28nm) took over as the largest portion in terms of monthly installed capacity available in 2015, says iC Insights. By the end of 2019, <28nm capacity is forecast to represent ...

Faraday offers a series of USB IP solutions in a broad range of nodes from 0.25um to 28nm, and its related ICs have already shipped over hundreds of millions units. To meet the growing demand for USB ...

The IoT PLL can frequency lock within three clock cycles on warm starts to minimize the IoT chips’ energy needs. It is available in TSMC 7nm, 10nm, 16nm, 28nm, 40nm, and 180nm process nodes.

ARM has just announced a new POP IP, short for Processor Optimization Pack, for its popular Cortex-A53 and A7 processors. These latest packages are designed for United Microelectronics Corporation ...

HiSilicon, which is an outfit created by Broadcom and Huawei, has signed up for SMIC's process technology. SMIC has achieved "rather good" yield rates on its 28nm process, and attracted the ...

We’ve also made some investments to do really high-performance 28nm LP. We do think FD-SOI has legs and enough customers that it warrants the investment. Bar-Niv: For 14/16nm, we have ported our ...

Given that the Samsung 28nm LP is more in-line with TSMC's lower performance 28nm LP, the potential gains that Apple could see in moving from 28nm LP to 16 FinFET+ would be even greater.

It may not happen as quickly as in some of the better nodes like 65nm or 28nm LP. But 20nm will have a cost crossover. We think we will ramp up this product in 2014. SE: As you know, the foundries are ...
