Fully Tested 8-bit and 32-bit ARM® Based Precision32™ MCUs in Die
Form Available in Quantities as Low as One Wafer
AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Silicon
Laboratories Inc. (NASDAQ: SLAB), a leader in high-performance,
analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, today introduced a customer-friendly
microcontroller (MCU) die sales program, accelerating time to market and
giving customers another option for small-footprint designs. Silicon
Labs' new die sales program has a minimum order quantity of only one
wafer unlike typical die sales programs that require very high-volume
orders to qualify. The program is available for the company's 8-bit
8051-based mixed-signal MCUs and new 32-bit Precision32™
product family based on the ARM® Cortex™-M3 core.
Silicon Labs' die sales program offers a unique mixed-signal test
methodology at probe that enables fully tested die to be sold in wafer
form. All wafers are tested to the same levels as packaged MCU products.
In addition, customers have the option of requesting factory programming
of unpackaged die to further speed time to market.
"Many customers prefer the option of buying MCUs in die form because it
gives them greater flexibility to optimize for space-constrained designs
requiring small form factors and to implement their own custom packaging
in module applications," said Mike Salas, vice president and general
manager of Silicon Labs' microcontroller products. "Ultimately, our new
program takes the pain out of die sales by making it easier for
customers to purchase fully tested MCU die in minimum orders as small as
one wafer."
