UMC’s BCD technology is a specialized process platform that integrates high‑voltage power devices with precision analog and digital control on a single chip. This combination makes BCD ideal for power management ICs (PMIC) that must deliver efficient power conversion, accurate sensing and regulation, and comprehensive protection functions while keeping system size and external component count low.
UMC offers a comprehensive wafer foundry solution for BCD, supporting both 8-inch and 12-inch manufacturing platforms and operating voltages up to 200V. UMC’s comprehensive platform that includes:
- User friendly Foundry Design Kit (FDK)
- ESD guidelines and sample layouts
- Rugged reliability performance and Safe-Operation-Area (SOA)
- Embedded non-volatile memory solutions
- Fundamental digital IP support
UMC’s BCD portfolio spans multiple nodes and voltage options from 0.5µm to 55nm, and continues to advance both EPI and non-EPI process roadmaps to strengthen differentiation and supply flexibility across product segments, meeting stringent end-market requirements for performance and reliability.
UMC’s BCD technology serves a wide range of modern PMIC and power-control applications, including DC‑DC converters, LED drivers, battery management systems, and motor control. With a broad device and IP portfolio—such as EPI and non‑EPI p‑substrate options, standard cells, I/O, OTP/MTP, ROM, eFuse, and embedded non-volatile memories. UMC enables high‑efficiency, energy‑conscious electronic systems across consumer and industrial markets.
