Arizona-based semiconductor company Onsemi (Nasdaq: ON) announces the release of its Treo Platform, the industry’s first advanced analog and mixed-signal platform built on a 65nm Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process node. This platform is designed to simplify and accelerate product development in critical markets such as automotive, industrial, and data centers by providing a scalable foundation for power and sensing solutions. With its support for high-performance, low-power applications, the Treo Platform allows customers to address the increasing demand for efficient, high-functional devices in both established and emerging fields.
The introduction of the Treo Platform comes at a crucial time as industries face mounting pressure to balance growing energy needs with stricter environmental regulations. Automotive, industrial, and AI-driven data center sectors, in particular, require advanced solutions that enhance energy efficiency without compromising performance. Medical wearables, which continue to evolve in sophistication, also demand intelligent, low-power solutions to improve patient care and minimize device costs. onsemi’s Treo Platform meets these challenges with superior power and sensing capabilities that deliver greater intelligence and efficiency across the entire power spectrum.
Products built on the Treo Platform can offer substantial improvements in performance, accuracy, and safety. For instance, in the automotive sector, the platform enables high-performance ultrasonic sensors that can detect objects at half the previous minimum distance in park-assist applications, providing enhanced collision avoidance and safety. In healthcare, the platform supports ultra-low-power Analog Front Ends (AFEs) for continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices, capable of measuring minute electrical currents at the nano ampere level. This high precision is essential for CGM accuracy, allowing smaller, more comfortable devices with extended battery life, thus reducing replacement frequency and costs. For data centers, the Treo Platform enables Onsemi’s smart power stages to optimize power delivery to GPUs and CPUs, which can lead to lower cooling requirements and substantial energy savings, reducing operational costs and environmental impact.
The Treo Platform features a modular, System-on-Chip (SoC)-like architecture, equipped with advanced digital processing and high-performing analog IP. Built on the 65nm process node, it supports a broad voltage range (1-90V) and temperatures up to 175°C, enabling a wide array of low-to-high-power functionalities. This flexibility allows Onsemi’s customers to develop solution-specific products quickly and respond to changing market demands with customized portfolios.
Currently, onsemi is sampling initial product families based on the Treo Platform, including voltage translators, ultra-low-power AFEs, LDOs, ultrasonic sensors, multi-phase controllers, and single-pair Ethernet controllers. Looking ahead, the company plans to broaden its portfolio through 2025, with additional offerings such as high-performance sensors, DC-DC converters, automotive LED drivers, electrical safety ICs, and connectivity solutions. The Treo Platform not only enhances Onsemi’s product capabilities but also strengthens its commitment to driving innovation in energy-efficient technologies across diverse industries.
