As a reminder a 40nm node is a mainstream technology.

GLOBALFOUNDRIES mainstream platforms from 180nm to 40nm offer mixed-technology solutions on volume production-proven, industry-compatible processes.

40nm-LP (Low Power) is an ideal platform for power- and price-sensitive applications, such as mobile and wireless applications with flexible mixed-technology options for RF, low voltage and automotive. Available technologies include logic, analog/mixed-signal, RF/mmWave, and OTP/SRAM memory. It is a design-ready solution with silicon-validated IP and PDKs (process design kits) from GLOBALFOUNDRIES and leading EDA/IP partners.

Highlights:

• 40nm-LP requires 40% less power, 60% less area and has significantly lower cost compared to 65nm implementations

• Shipping at target defect density

• Applications in mass production include:
  • Baseband SoC/DTV/Wireless
  • Wireless Consumer
  • Mobile Multimedia
  • Mobile TV, Cable

• Multiple RF products in mass production including set-top boxes, TV tuners, digital TV

• Industry-leading mmWave RF enablement with automotive qualification

• 5V LDMOS is ideal for power management applications

• Lower 1V Vdd solution with library enablement
