Certus Semiconductor, a US-based provider of custom I/O and ESD solutions, has announced an official partnership to join the TSMC Intellectual Property (IP) Alliance program, a key element of the TSMC Open Innovation Platform (OIP). Certus specializes in high-performance ESD solutions for many RF and high-speed interfaces, including WiFi, Cellular, HDMI, LVDS, USB, XAUI, and up to 256Gb SerDes. The company offers flexible multi-voltage GPIO and ODIO solutions supporting diverse protocols alongside high-voltage structures (10V, 20V+) on low-voltage CMOS for advanced applications.
Certus optimizes its I/O libraries for automotive, aerospace and radiation environments. As a member of the TSMC IP Alliance, Certus delivers production-proven IP that ensures seamless integration with TSMC process nodes, ranging from 180nm to 12nm. The solutions include multi-protocol and multi-voltage I/O Libraries; GPIOs that support numerous standards with extended specifications; specialized high-speed die-to-die interface solutions; and high-voltage, extreme high-voltage (>10V) ESD in 65nm and below, according to a media release.
