Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technology at Tower Semiconductor offers a versatile platform for developing power management solutions. This technology integrates bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) logic, and double-diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (DMOS) power devices onto a single chip, which is integral in optimizing power efficiency, reducing component count, and improving system reliability.
Tower Semiconductor's BCD process is designed particularly for power management applications found in a myriad of sectors including automotive, industrial, consumer electronics, and more. It affords high-voltage capability alongside low-power consumption. This allows for the efficient handling of both analog and digital signals, essential for managing power in complex electronic systems without incurring excessive losses.
With BCD, device designers can exploit CMOS technology for low-power digital processing while using DMOS for high-voltage control, creating a robust infrastructure theoretical for varied applications like DC-DC converters, LED drivers, and battery management units. These attributes and the technology's ability to support integration of analog circuits and digital controllers make it indispensable in modern power management.
