Tower Semiconductor, a specialty foundry, and Triune Systems, an IC design and test development provider, have announced an agreement to collaborate on developing a power management platform.

Through this collaboration, the companies will jointly design and develop intellectual property (IP) for Tower’s 0.18-micron Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process to deliver a family of low and high voltage power management products and IP for a variety of applications to enable faster design cycles and lower cost designs.

In particular, the companies will design and develop zero mask adder non-volatile memory blocks, based on Towe’s patented Y-Flash technology, suitable specifically for 5V operation on high voltage platforms. High volume production for the co-developed high voltage power management products is expected to commence in the second half of 2009.
