Silicon Creations

Silicon Creations is a leading provider of high-performance clocking IP and mixed-signal integrated circuit design services for high-performance applications. Our customers return to us because of the predictable performance of our IP, our integrity, and our deep commitment to their success. We offer a family of highly programmable ring oscillator- and LC oscillator-based PLL IP, SerDes IP, and LVDS-based Video interface IP. Our highly programmable Fractional-N PLL is in production in hundreds of chips from 5nm to 180nm, and proven in 3nm. It can be used for all clocking requirements on most chips allowing our customers to replace multiple PLL purchases from our competitors with a single PLL from us reducing their development time and risk. We also offer proven derivatives of this PLL optimized for specific requirements including ultra-low jitter for AFE's, very low area, core voltage only for digital clocking and fully integrated "IoT" PLLs using a 32kHz reference clock, starting rapidly and using uW's of power. Our SerDes IP is built on a robust architecture proven from 0.18um to 12nm and from 100Mb/s to 32Gb/s and is compact and low power. We've made application specific interfaces like SGMII, DVI, V-by-One, JESD204A, JESD204B and semi-custom interfaces as well as providing the Enterprise level Multiprotocol PMA in Microchip's 28nm FPGA. Our LVDS-based video interfaces cover standards such as Camera-Link, FPD-link, Open-LDI, Fast-LVDS, miniLVDS and similar with pixel clock rates from 9MHz to 190MHz. See for more information.
