| The Common Platform and Analog Bits, Inc.
Chartered, IBM, and Samsung jointly developed the Common Platform, an advanced technology platform based on a leading-edge process technology at 90nm, 65nm and 45nm, and a roadmap to 32nm. With it, a single design can be manufactured at any of the three of fabs. Chartered, IBM and Samsung also collaborates with various EDA, IP and design services partners to offer a comprehensive and open ecosystem that allows customers to share IP and design rules and potentially reduce development costs.
Analog Bits, Inc. specializes in designing transistor level IP components customized for easy and reliable integration into CMOS digital chips. Products include precision clocking macros such as PLLs and DLLs, programmable interconnect solutions such as multi-protocol SERDES/PMA and I/Os, and specialized memories. With over 1000 designs from 0.35-um to 65-nm processes in mass production and hundreds of millions of parts shipped by our customers, Analog Bits is the premier IP supplier with a flawless track record of “first time working silicon” at merchant silicon foundries and IDM’s
IPs available at 2 manufacturing facilities
Analog Bits 65nm PLLs, DLLs and custom clocking solutions have been designed with Common Platform technology ground rules and is silicon proven at Chartered and IBM today. Due to GDSII compatibility between Common Platform technology manufacturers, this IP can be made available at additional manufacturers upon request.

About the Common Platform
IBM, Chartered and Samsung have broken new ground in the semiconductor industry with a unique collaboration focused on leading-edge, jointly developed digital CMOS process technologies and advanced manufacturing. As a result of the involvement of IDMs, systems companies, and foundries, the jointly developed processes bring a new level of system and application understanding to the silicon process. The Common Platform model is supported by a comprehensive ecosystem of design enablement and implementation partners from the EDA, IP, and design services industries. Common Platform technology features 90nm, 65nm, 45nm and 32nm process technologies developed as part of a collaboration between IBM, Chartered, Samsung and Infineon. Freescale has recently joined in the joint process development alliance (JDA) for the 45nm & 32nm technology nodes.
