Faraday Technology Corporation announced the successful mass production of Sonix's application-specific MCU chips using UUMC 40ULP process node. Sonix adopted Faraday's SONOS eFlash subsystem, which is specially designed to develop edge AI, smart grid, IoT, and MCU applications, to facilitate the integration of the eFlash function into the SoC without modifying the existing proven IP at 40ULP. Faraday's SON OS eFlash subsystem, a logic-process-compatible solution, facilitates setting the built-in eFlash function in SoCs at 40nm, streamlining collaborative IP implementation, reducing IP porting complexity, and requiring fewer mask layers for shorter lead-time and increased cost-effectiveness.

The easy-to-use solution provides read/write code protection for MCU usage; the BIST (built-in self-test) ensures production quality and testing efficiency. Faraday's platform-based design service and its advanced Ariel Platform enable simultaneous system software development and hardware integration, starting from early stage.
