Silicon Creations, a leading provider of high-performance analog and mixed-signal intellectual property (IP), today announced the successful tape-out of a chip on the TSMC N2P process including a novel temperature sensor design and an expanded portfolio of clocking IP to support next-generation semiconductor products.

The newly developed temperature sensor using N2P technology marks a departure from traditional BJT-based temperature sensing methods. This innovative design is compatible with current leading-edge semiconductor fabrication processes while offering a complete and SoC integration-friendly temperature monitoring solution. By addressing evolving industry needs, this sensor underscores Silicon Creations’ commitment to innovation within existing and future semiconductor technologies.

In addition to the temperature sensor, the chip on the TSMC N2P process expands Silicon Creations’ silicon-proven 2nm portfolio, which includes a wide range of precision clocking solutions such as phase-locked loops (PLLs) and oscillators. As an industry leader in both clocking IP – including ring-based and LC-based PLLs – and high-speed interface IP (SerDes), Silicon Creations continues to set the standard for high-performance, reliable, integration-friendly designs.

Silicon Creations’ clocking portfolio includes:

• Jitter-optimized, power-optimized, and area-optimized PLLs

• Fast-frequency-hopping frequency-locked loops (FLLs)

• Free-running oscillators

• Low-noise crystal oscillators

• Low-noise clock buffers
