Listen to this articleBelow is our recent interview with Cameron Fisher, CEO and Co-Founder of Mobile Semiconductor:
Q: Could you provide our readers with a brief introduction to Mobile Semiconductor?
A: Mobile Semiconductor is an embedded memory design company based in Seattle WA. I founded the company in 2006 along with Stephen Hellriegel to bring our advanced memory solutions to market.
Our products, when used in our customers systems, differentiates their products from their competitors creating a win for both Mobile-Semiconductor and our customers. This leads to long term customer loyalty and we take great pride in that.
Today, Mobile Semiconductor is the only independent memory compiler vendor specializing in low voltage and rad hard embedded memory solutions.

Q: You’ve recently introduced three new 40nm ULP memory compilers; could you tell us something more?
A: It’s interesting that the 40nm design node has been around for several years but it is still a very important stage in many market spaces. For one, it’s proven technology and with all the costs associated with making a chip (masks, IP, foundry, etc.), 40nm designs can cost a fraction of what the leading state of the art chips cost. The recent addition of non-volatile memory (flash) opens up new markets for the Mobile Semiconductor 40nm ULP in particular.
This makes the Mobile Semiconductor 40nm ULP (Ultra Low Power) memory compiler perfect for a wide range of IoT, consumer products, and low volume products. All of which still need advanced techniques from many sources to keep the power consumption to a minimum.
In some cases, these advanced products, such as some hearing aids or fire safety devices, can run for up to 10 years on a single ‘button’ battery! And it’s all because of memory compilers from companies like Mobile Semiconductor combined with other IP solutions from our partner companies. In the next decade, low power is king.
Q: What is unique about Mobile Semiconductor and how does it stand out from the competition?
A: Mobile Semiconductor’s areas of expertise include low voltage and high speed optimized embedded SRAMs, radiation hardened embedded SRAMs, custom embedded SRAM solutions, built-in self-test (BIST) compilers and Mobile Semiconductor’s Trailblaze™ software for generating best-in-class low power embedded SRAM compilers.
With over 100 years of combined experience in the design and development of high performance memory systems, Mobile Semiconductor’s management and technical teams originate from leading semiconductor and IP companies.
Combine this with our fast and flexible responses to our customers needs and you have a great formula for continued success.
Q: What geographic markets are you focusing on currently?
A: We are frankly a worldwide company with reach into every country and region that designs and builds high-tech products. Almost every electrical device uses memory in some fashion and if the need is for low power devices, we have a solution for them.
In addition to our traditional customers, Mobile Semiconductor’s silicon-proven memory solutions have been produced in foundries in Asia, North America and Europe for both commercial and rad hard applications.

Q: What are your plans for next four months?
A: We are expanding our sales channel worldwide to meet the growing demand for our Memory Compilers.
We are also stepping up our marketing to make our customer base aware of our technology and solutions in greater depth. This market space requires diligence to make the best memory compiler and IP selections at the beginning of the chip design. Mobile Semiconductor has been crucial to our customers in the past and will remain a trusted partner in the future.
And finally, Mobile Semiconductor will be introducing at least two significant new products in the next few months to directly support the exploding IoT market. This is a rapidly expanding product development space and our teams work diligently to stay out front of our customer’s needs.
Chip designers are encouraged to visit us, to learn more about our memory compiler solutions and send us a note on what their design challenges are for their next design. We would love to hear from them.
