Freescale Semiconductor Inc., the former Motorola Inc. unit, has established a semi-custom operation to provide application- and customer-specific chips for networking, communications and embedded-processing applications.
The new operation will deliver chips designed around the PowerPC e300 and e500 cores, StarCore DSPs, serializer and deserializer technology, security engines and mixed-signal circuits within six to nine months, the company said.
The company did not say how many workers would be employed in the semi-custom operation, or what proportion of the company's sales it was expected to account for.
The operation will use a wide variety of manufacturing processes, including Freescale's 130- and 90-nm CMOS, silicon germanium, silicon-on-insulator and multi-layer copper metalization technologies.
