Zwolle, 28th February 2019 – RoodMicrotec GmbH signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Fraunhofer Institut für Integrierte Schaltungen IIS and EBV Elektronik GmbH, announcing cooperation in production and marketing of Fraunhofer ready to use chip IP.
EBVchips will contribute to the cooperation with their marketing and sales platform. RoodMicrotec takes care of the complete logistics, quality assurance, technical realization and project management from the first idea to the delivery of serial parts.
The cooperation includes new ASSP (application-specific standard product) devices for industrial, logistics and home appliance products. The first of two products is the RFicient®. This IC solution will allow customers to optimize the power consumption of e.g. IoT applications, increasing battery lifetime dramatically.
RoodMicrotec are experts in the field of turnkey manufacturing services for application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). Through this involvement in production and supply of application-specific standard products (ASSPs), the company sees an excellent opportunity in expanding its SCM services to a wider range of customers.
“Whereas ASICs are designed for and used in a specific application for a single customer, ASSPs are typically covering an application area, including a range of products for various end-customers. This will drive significant higher volumes to be produced and managed by us”, says Reinhard Pusch, COO of RoodMicrotec.
