X-FAB to Exhibit 3-Axis Inertial Sensor Technology at Sensors Expo 2014

ERFURT, Germany – Jun. 20, 2014 –

Who

X-FAB, the leading analog/mixed-signal and MEMS foundry

What

Will exhibit its open-platform MEMS 3-axis inertial sensor process that is now available for volume manufacturing. This MEMS technology is suitable for a wide range of applications such as mobile devices, consumer goods, games and toys, automotive and robotics applications, and industrial and medical equipment that use 3D accelerometers or gyroscopes. The 3-axis inertial sensor technology comes with a complete set of design rules, process specifications and X-FAB’s own design-rule checking software to verify designs prior to silicon production.

In addition to the MEMS sensor technologies, X-FAB will discuss its modular CMOS process technologies that are ideal for implementing a broad range of sensing applications, signal conditioning and signal-processing devices. For designers of opto-electric sensors, various diodes and transistors are available that can be used as photo diodes or transistors for light-sensing applications.

Quickly and accurately identify inter-domain leakage issues in IC designs

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Power domain leakage is a major IC reliability issue, often missed by traditional tools. This white paper describes challenges of identifying leakage, types of false results, and presents Siemens EDA’s Insight Analyzer. The tool proactively finds true leakage paths, filters out false positives, and helps circuit designers quickly fix risks—enabling more robust, reliable chip designs. With detailed, context-aware analysis, designers save time and improve silicon quality.
