Tality has signed a deal with Philips Semiconductor that will see the design house port a range of 8bit microcontrollers to 0.35µm processes as part of a cost-reduction move by Philips. Philips will continue to work on new devices based on the 8051 architecture, as well as its 16bit derivative, the XA. Tality will take the existing product line and perform the shrinks needed to get them onto 0.35µm. David Haeussler, the Philips client partner at Tality, said: "Most of the products are on processes older than 0.5µm. We will take them down to 0.35µm to keep them 5V compatible."
