XMC Announces Mass Production of 55nm Low-Power Logic Product

On January 16, 2015, Wuhan Xinxin Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., Ltd. ("XMC"), a rapidly growing semiconductor manufacturer in China, announced mass production of 55nm low-power logic product. This marks the completion of the development of XMC's most fundamental logic platform on 55nm process, which is recognized by customers and formally launched to the market.

Logic circuits are an important part of integrated circuits. After operating independently in 2013, XMC signed a license agreement with IBM regarding 65nm RF, 65nm low-power and 45nm low-power technologies. XMC directly introduced 55nm logic technology on a 65nm basis and efficiently completed the whole course from process development to product mass production in only one year.

The IoT has started to change from a concept to actual products in our daily life and leading products such as smart bands, smart watches, and smart probes have started to enter millions of households, with the increasing progress of ICs in power consumption reduction and integration improvement. As one of the extremely important IoT technology platforms, 55nm low-power logic technology can be extensively used in numerous low-power IoT products. The maturity of XMC's 55nm logic technology marks the first milestone in the development of the future IoT platform.

Mr. Chen Shaomin, Chief Business Officer at XMC said, "The progress of XMC's logic project is fully affirmed by our customers. The product design is relatively complex with a high-speed processing core, full HD image engine, USB 2.0, MIPI interface, and embedded large cache. The original plan was to go through two rounds of R&D before bringing the product to market. However, the first batch of products rolled off the production line has already reached mass production level, with each module functioning normally, indicating clear directions for future performance and yield improvement. With XMC's high-speed development in logic and in-depth partnerships, we are confident that we will assist our customers in launching more products to market quickly."
