Seoul, South Korea, February 27, 2024 --- OPENEDGES Technology, Inc. (OPENEDGES, KOSDAQ: 394280), a total memory subsystem IP provider, proudly announce the commencement of mass production for its 22nm LPDDR4 PHY IP, licensed to LX Semicon for their latest chipset. LX Semicon, formerly Silicon Works Co., is a global top-tier fabless semiconductor company that specializes in designing Display Driver Integrated Circuits (DDICs) for use in LCD and OLED panels.
OPENEDGES’ DDR PHY IPs have consistently demonstrated success, boasting a robust track record with numerous licensees, underscoring the industry’s confidence in the company’s depth of expertise. The cutting-edge architecture & small footprint of the OPENEDGES PHY were compelling reasons for its selection. Ease of integration, adaptable firmware, and responsive post-silicon support from OPENEDGES also helped LX Semicon reduce the design resources for bring-up and qualification, enabling the on-time start of mass production.
“Together with OPENEDGES, we achieved silicon success according to plan,” said Jinwoo Park, a leader of T-Con development division at LX Semicon. “OPENEDGES’ PSM & firmware architecture provides flexibility, enabling the development of improved training algorithm. It has significantly minimized resource consumption, contributing to optimized system performance. As we witnessed the technological superiority of OPENEDGES’ DDR PHY IP, we are strategically planning to expand our partnership with OPENEDGES for more advanced process technologies.”
“The effort to support LX Semicon’s bring-up to mass production was an excellent example of customer collaboration,” said Jason Mangattur, Vice President of Silicon Operations at The Six Semiconductor (TSS) of OPENEDGES. “Our Applications Engineering team worked closely with LX Semicon to bring-up and optimize our PHY on their pre-production platforms. We continue to support LX Semicon in their mass production effort and look forward to their continued success with our PHY.”
“Collaborating closely with LX Semicon, we’ve achieved a remarkable milestone with the successful mass production of OPENEDGES’ DDR PHY IP in premium TV displays,” said Sean Lee, CEO of OPENEDGES Technology. “This success speaks to the trust and confidence LX Semicon has placed in our IP technology. We’re excited about the future possibilities as we continue to innovate together.”
