Globalfoundries, IMEC to jointly develop RF solutions for IoT applications
Press release; Jessie Shen, DIGITIMES [Tuesday 24 February 2015]
Globalfoundries has announced a partnership with IMEC for joint research on future radio architectures and designs for highly-integrated mobile devices and IoT applications.
Globalfoundries will closely collaborate with technical experts from IMEC to investigate low-power and compact high-performance agile radio solutions that will enable a broad range of radio architecture design targeting improvements in area, performance and power consumption. Globalfoundries will also partner with IMEC to develop ultra-low power IC design solutions leveraging the foundry's CMOS technology to address the demanding requirements of tomorrow's IoT devices.
Ultimately, the partnership between Globalfoundries and IMEC aims to build a technology and design infrastructure that will enable future RF architectures while minimizing critical interface requirements for radio power consumption and performance.
"This collaboration expands our relationship with IMEC, and we're eager to leverage their R&D expertise in RF technology to accelerate time-to-volume of designs and deliver leading-edge RF technology to our customers," said Peter Rabbeni, director RF Segment Marketing at Globalfoundries.
