DALSA Semiconductor Announces 5V / Mid Voltage / 650V CMOS/DMOS Process

Press Release - DALSA Quebec, Canada.

Manufacturers of handheld device chargers and switched mode power supplies for DVD players, set-top boxes etc., will benefit from the capability of integrating 5V mixed signal CMOS with mid-voltage and 650V transistors in the same circuit.

DALSA Semiconductor, a division of DALSA Corporation (TSX:DSA), an international high performance semiconductor and electronics company, announced today the availability of its new CMOS/DMOS high voltage process with 650V breakdown voltage.

The C12K process is a CMOS/DMOS technology integrating low (3V to 5V), mid-voltage (20V to 32V) and high voltage components (450V-650V) on the same chip. "The use of junction isolation provides a significant cost advantage compared to dielectrically isolated processes with equivalent breakdown voltage" said Marc Faucher, director of HV Technology Development. "The addition of mid-voltage devices provides greater noise immunity and the capability to drive external power MOSFETS, and is in direct response to requirements from customers who are using our process technologies in increasingly demanding applications."

The technology addresses applications such as display and printhead drivers, and power management interfacing to 120V or 230V mains, including LED drivers, ballast control, and chargers for hand held devices.

The C12K two layer metal process is available in two versions: single poly for 5V/650V operation, or two poly for the addition of mid-voltage transistors and high value (5kOhm/sq) and low TCR polysilicon resistors. A process design kit (PDK) is available with a range of predefined high voltage transistors and scalable low and mid-voltage transistors. Specialised engineering support is available to accelerate high voltage design and product development.
