With the capability to integrate over 750,000 gates of CMOS Silicon-On-Sapphire (SOS) random logic (above 1 million equivalent gates with embedded macros), this cell library offers customers the unprecedented high-speed and low power consumption of UTSi technology for a broad range of space applications.

"There is an urgent need for an advanced rad-hard process technology that system designers can rely on to develop next generations of advanced signal processing and other system control functions," said Chuck Tabbert, Peregrine's Director of Space & Defense Marketing.

"Our focused development activity in UTSi, including Radio Frequency (RF) synthesizer and transceiver blocks, A/D converters, embedded EEPROM, SRAM or ROM will continue to enhance the capability of the cell library in the near future."

The UTSi process is presently being processed at Peregrine's fab partner in Japan, according to Tabbert, and will soon be installed in Peregrine's newly acquired 6 inch fabrication facility in Sydney, Australia.

Production from this new fab will be available this summer. Tabbert further added that the UTSi process technology is planned to be scaled down to 0.25 micron, which the company expects to be available for customer designs by Q3/2001.

Satellite Launch To Boost DTH In India
Calcutta, India (SPX) Dec 28, 2005
The successful launch Thursday of India's heaviest satellite from spaceport of Kourou in French Guyana may have boosted the country's space research efforts to yet another level, but it has also lifted the spirits of at least three Direct-To-Home televisions broadcasters, one of which has been waiting for years to launch its services in India.
