Ways customers benefit from our customized solutions
ams OSRAM develops leading-edge technologies and provides a comprehensive support ecosystem for your CMOS-based customized solutions for industrial, automotive, medical and consumer applications. We can help you reduce the bill of materials while accelerating your time-to-market and protecting your IP Using our ASIC services, you benefit from:
High performance
The combination of different system requirements is typically expressed in a figure of merit (FOM). Our global team of experts offers local support and delivers the optimal combination of all different system requirements. Moreover, ams OSRAM offers ultra-stable references and zero off-set.
Small size
The size of electronics is significantly reduced by using customized ASICs compared to off-the-shelf discrete components. Our cutting-edge technologies like TSV (through silicon via) and advanced packaging solutions (e.g. wafer level chip scale package – WLCSP, system in a package – SIP, chip on flex - CoF) enable our customers to produce extremely small modules.
Ultra-low power
ams OSRAM offers a wide variety of ultra-low power IP blocks. By integrating those IP blocks in the ASIC design, ams OSRAM can offer system solutions with the lowest possible power consumption. Additionally, further energy reduction is offered with special features like advanced sleep modes as well as polling functionalities.
Ultra-low noise
ams OSRAM optimizes its IP blocks for the final application. This reduces the system noise to a minimum to achieve best ASIC performance.
System cost
Reducing the number of discrete components into a single IC reduces the bill of material (BOM) and the manufacturing complexity. On customer request, ams OSRAM experts can optimize ASIC content to obtain most cost-efficient system solutions.
IP protection
Reverse engineering of an ASIC is significantly more difficult and expensive compared to a discrete PCB design. ams OSRAM provides strongest IP protection for your IP and design know-how.
Secure, long-term supply chain
ams OSRAM owned wafer fabs, partnerships and full compatibility with large wafer foundries and several package suppliers ensuring sustained longevity through in-house wafer manufacturing and testing facilities.
Advanced packaging and wafer fabrication from ams OSRAM
ams OSRAM provides cutting-edge ASICs, implementing a strategy that involves providing new process technologies and IP blocks to meet challenging specifications. Advanced manufacturing and packaging technologies allow our customers to maintain a leading position.
