ArcticLink reduces design time and risk for mobile product developers by embedding hard-wired host controllers with a programmable fabric - all in a single low-power device.
Acknowledging the reality of rising hard costs associated with package manufacturing, Amkor is helping its customers manage their overhead or soft costs associated with package development by offering service level agreements that provide guaranteed levels of design chain support services.
"The goals of this programme are to streamline overhead costs throughout the design chain, shorten design cycle times, and ultimately provide our customers with the opportunity to cost-effectively accelerate their time to market", said Steve Lowder, Amkor's VP of Design Services.
"With increasing design activity for a broad range of end-product applications, it is important to align our resources with the needs of our customers to ensure that they have access to Amkor's world-class design resources".
"We believe that broad adoption of service level agreements will foster improved management of design processes across the electronics supply chain".
This strategy comes at a time where many semiconductor companies are looking for innovative ways to manage their costs in the face of increasing raw material prices and tight manufacturing capacity.
"Amkor's design service agreement fits into our overall strategy of identifying world-class partners and programmes who can help us cut product development time and costs and help us deliver high quality, 'best price' low-power FPGAs", said Owen Bateman, Sales Director at QuickLogic Europe.
