Onsemi’s Treo Platform for Smarter Power and Sensing Solutions
Onsemi has unveiled the Treo Platform, a groundbreaking analog and mixed-signal solution designed to accelerate the development of power management, sensor interfaces, and communication technologies. Built with advanced Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process technology on a 65nm node, the platform supports a wide voltage range of 1-90V and operating temperatures up to 175°C, making it ideal for applications in automotive, medical, industrial, and AI data centers.
A Solution for Evolving Market Demands
As industries face increasing power demands alongside stricter environmental regulations, the need for energy-efficient yet high-performance solutions has never been greater. From sophisticated medical wearables to energy-hungry data centers, modern devices require greater functionality, accuracy, and efficiency—all while reducing costs and environmental impact.
The Treo Platform addresses these challenges by offering:
- Enhanced Performance and Accuracy: Supporting the industry’s widest voltage range and delivering scalable performance.
- Faster Time-to-Market: A modular architecture and robust IP library simplify product development and accelerate design cycles.
- Cost and Energy Efficiency: Advanced integration reduces system complexity, device size, and power consumption.
Applications Driving Innovation
Products built on the Treo Platform enable significant advancements across industries, including:
Automotive
High-performance ultrasonic sensors improve park assist systems by doubling detection accuracy. This allows sensors to identify objects at closer distances, enhancing collision avoidance and overall vehicle safety.
Healthcare
Ultra-low-power Analog Front Ends (AFEs) for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices offer nanoampere-level precision, enabling accurate readings of tiny signals from glucose sensors. By integrating multiple functions into a compact chip, these devices reduce their footprint by half and extend battery life to weeks. This leads to smaller, more comfortable wearables and fewer replacements, lowering healthcare costs.
Data Centers
Compact smart power stages built on the platform enhance power delivery efficiency for GPUs and CPUs. These advancements reduce cooling requirements, conserve energy, and lower operational costs, all while contributing to a smaller environmental footprint.
Inside the Treo Platform
The Treo Platform features a modular, system-on-chip (SoC)-like architecture with a library of evolving IP blocks for compute, power management, sensing, and communications subsystems. Its 65nm process node delivers advanced digital processing capabilities and superior analog IP performance, enabling:
- Local Intelligence: Flexible configuration and improved application accuracy.
- High Voltage Range: Support for low-to-high power functionality, from 1-90V.
- Robust Durability: Reliable operation at temperatures up to 175°C.
These features allow onsemi to deliver tailored product portfolios optimized for specific solutions, reducing design complexity and expediting time-to-market.
