Silicon Creations has once again set a benchmark in analog and mixed-signal IP design, receiving the 2024 TSMC Open Innovation Platform® (OIP) Partner of the Year Award for Mixed-Signal IP. This marks the ninth time the company has earned this prestigious distinction, solidifying its role as a cornerstone in the advanced semiconductor ecosystem.

A Proven Track Record in Mixed-Signal Excellence

Since its founding in 2006, Silicon Creations has consistently delivered high-performance IP including timing PLLs, SerDes interfaces, and differential I/Os. These technologies span a wide range of nodes, from 180nm to 3nm, with active development underway for 2nm.

Their IP has been manufactured on over 10 million 12-inch equivalent wafers, demonstrating an unparalleled ability to meet stringent performance and quality standards across diverse applications—from data centers to consumer devices and automotive systems.

Driving Next-Generation Innovation

Silicon Creations continues to evolve its portfolio to meet emerging market demands:

1. Expanded PLL offerings optimized for die-to-die (UCIe) and chiplet architectures
2. High-performance LC PLLs for FinFET nodes supporting PCIe6 and data converter reference clocks
3. A robust automotive-grade IP pipeline, including nearly 40 DRC-verified layouts and over 70 safety documentation packages tailored to functional safety requirements

These innovations are not only addressing performance and integration challenges but also enabling critical applications in AI, automotive, and high-speed computing.

Enabling an Open, Advanced Ecosystem

The TSMC OIP Partner of the Year Award recognizes outstanding collaboration and enablement of next-generation silicon designs. Silicon Creations’ sustained recognition reflects its ability to consistently align with cutting-edge foundry technologies and ecosystem roadmaps.
