American Semiconductor, Inc. has been selected by Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) to develop a deep sub-volt, Ultra Low Power (ULP) CMOS technology that maintains high performance at very low voltages. Flexfet™ ULP will benefit AFRL and other Department of Defense (DoD) agencies by providing foundry access to advanced ULP CMOS technology.
"The Ultra Low Power process will be a deep sub-volt version of our Flexfet technology built at 130nm," said Doug Hackler, President and CEO of American Semiconductor. "Flexfet supports both independently double-gated (IDG) operation for dynamic power control and double-gated operation for near ideal steep ...
