Faraday Technology Corporation

Faraday is the biggest cell library and memory compiler developer for the foundry, UMC, offering a broad variety of process nodes, and optimizations for size, performance, leakage, etc.

Its broad IP portfolio includes processors, peripherals, standard interfaces, essential analog/mixed-signal IPs, embedded memories, etc. The in-house developed IPs help eliminate integration risks and lower IP licensing costs. IP customization service is also provided.

To accelerate time-to-market, Faraday provides platform ASIC chips with FPGA development boards. Customers can put their designs and/or 3rd-party IPs on the FPGA and validate the system prototype with software.

Faraday offers a full-spectrum of efficient and reliable design methodology and tools. The combination of leading-edge 3rd-party EDA tools (3rd -party’s leading-edge tools) and proprietary utilities results in a streamlined process that promises first-cut work.

As design complexity increases, packaging and testing represent a significant portion of the total manufacturing cost. Faraday works closely with supply-chain partners to provide a wide selection of advanced and cost effective options, whether the need is for high-speed interface, low-power dissipation, or minimal cost.

To ensure the best product yield rate and reliability level, Faraday has an experienced production engineering and failure analysis team. Customers can also trace the latest design and manufacturing status on real time through a dedicated online protocol (eService).

To accelerate customers’ design for different specific markets, Faraday provides application-oriented platforms for multimedia, networking, and display applications.
