About Advanced Silicon S.A.

Advanced Silicon develops and delivers high-voltage, smart-power integrated circuits for consumer electronics, computers and peripherals as well as for high-end applications. The product offer includes both application specific standard products (ASSPs) and full custom ICs (ASICs). Ranging from simple drivers up to complex systems-on-chip (SoCs), they play an important interface role at the frontier between information processing circuits and their peripherals, where high-current or high-voltage capabilities are required.

Thanks to its expertise of HV technologies and drawing from a library of qualified blocks Advanced Silicon designs innovative chips which improve the efficiency, footprint and cost of end-systems by combining on the same substrate complex functions typically implemented with discrete ICs.

A fabless semiconductor provider, Advanced Silicon relies on in-house R&D, marketing and sales while closely controlling subcontracted manufacturing activities. The company has privileged access to a network of certified Far-Eastern production facilities including foundries, packaging subcontractors and test houses. It supplies packaged or naked dies in medium to high-volumes, according to the highest manufacturing standards.

Our current product lines focus on:

• Consumer electronics. Typical products include Flat panel displays, motor drivers, power management units as well as all-in-one chips for use in PCs, PC peripherals, camcorders, digital still cameras and so on. Recently a series of ASSPs has been developed which offer a platform solution for the control of inkjet printers.

• High-end applications. Circuits in this category are mainly mixed-mode and mixed-voltage ASICs developed for medical, avionic and military applications.

• Automotive applications. A new product range targeting HVAC and HLA.

Advanced Silicon strives continually to broaden its product portfolio through the development of new chip sets dedicated to the above mentioned markets. Our expansion plan also targets process automation control.
