Low jitter for drop-in PLL synthesiser replacement
The NBC12429FN is a 3.3/5.0V programmable PLL clock synthesiser that provides a 25 to 400MHz system clock ideal for the primary timing signals in networking, telecomms and test hardware.
Meritorious performance from N-channel MOSFETs
Continuing the expansion of its portfolio of low-voltage power MOSFETs for switching and power management applications, ON Semiconductor has released a range of new N-channel devices.
The facility - recently purchased from LSI Logic Corp - has production capabilities down to the 130nm node, making it ideal for Nantero's development work.
When ON Semiconductor took over the campus earlier this month, it hired substantially all of the facility's employees, including most of the in-house engineering team.
"We see tremendous potential in this joint project", said Greg Schmergel, Nantero's cofounder and CEO.
"Nantero has successfully worked with the engineering team in Gresham for years and we look forward to working with ON Semiconductor to make the world's first production semiconductor devices using carbon nanotubes".
Nantero's proprietary processes for the use of carbon nanotubes are CMOS-compatible and are presently under development at ON Semiconductor's Gresham semiconductor manufacturing campus.
The facility was the first production fab in the world to qualify carbon nanotubes.
"ON Semiconductor is excited to be working with Nantero", said Bill George, Senior Vice President of Operations for ON Semiconductor.
"The technological accomplishments already achieved by Nantero in the Gresham facility are impressive and we expect to work together to realise additional milestones in the integration of carbon nanotubes in CMOS processes".
