Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd. and Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited announced the development of low-power CMOS(1) technology for 32nm-generation logic LSIs, which makes it possible to minimize the number of necessary manufacturing processes for LSIs, and without the need to utilize additional new materials. While minimizing rising costs associated with a rise in additional manufacturing processes, the newly developed technology can reduce power-supply voltage without causing a drop in operation speeds, and can lower operational power consumption by approximately 40% compared to technologies for 45nm-generation logic LSIs.

Fujitsu Laboratories Limited and Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited announced, as an industry first, the development of circuit technology that can rapidly switch a power supply from off to on in less than one microsecond. This makes it possible to extend the "off" period - sleep time - of a chip as a means to reduce leakage current, enabling highly integrated LSI chips to consume less power. Details of this technology will be presented at the 2008 Symposium on VLSI Circuits, to be held from June 18 to June 20 in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Fujitsu Microelectronics Limited announced the launch of the MB88R157, an addition to its existing product line of spread-spectrum clock generators (SSCG(1)), which provide countermeasures against electromagnetic interference (EMI(2)) on high-frequency clock signals. The new LSI also includes embedded FRAM(3), an industry first, which features fast rewriting speed and can vary its frequency output over a range of 1 MHz to 134 MHz while mounted on a circuit board. In addition, Fujitsu Microelectronic's circuit design technology reduces the product power consumption in continuous operation by up to 40% in comparison to similar products from other companies.

TOKYO and SAN FRANCISCO, February 5, 2008 - NEC Corporation and NEC Electronics Corporation today announced the successful development of a reconfigurable analog baseband LSI for Software Defined Radio (SDR). The newly developed LSI is capable of filtering unnecessary signals in the frequency range of 400 KHz to 30 MHz, allowing it to simultaneously support multiple wireless standards for existing and future mobile system standards such as mobile phone, broadcasting, and wireless LAN systems. Boasting a small chip area of 0.57mm2, the LSI can also change the type of filter depending on the wireless standard.
