S3 adds custom chip business model

S3 Group (Dublin, Ireland), a global technology group operating in the semiconductor and connected health industries, has announced a change in strategy for its semiconductor division, S3 Semiconductors (S3semi).

By Peter Clarke, eeNews, Sept. 11, 2017 – 

From now on S3 Semiconductors will focus on serving industrial and communications OEMs and converting their PCBs, subsystems and systems into mixed-signal ICs delivered as packaged and tested components.

A spokesperson for the company said it would continue to provide design services and IP licensing, a business model that S3 has pursued in the semiconductor sector for many years, but would be looking to focus on providing custom chips designed from a system-level perspective. The company's web site (www.s3semi.com) includes an online calculator that gives customers a first estimate of potential savings.

S3semi has completed over 1000 mixed-signal chip designs for use in industrial and communications markets an IP portfolio spanning analog front ends, clocks, data converters, power management, RF transceivers and temperature sensors.
