In the past Smart Power System-on-Chip (
SoC) products were almost exclusively designed on Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) technologies. These products address applications as diverse as power management for mobile phones, motor drivers, printer head drivers, automotive bus transceivers and dataline drivers for high speed internet or Voice over IP (VoIP). The trend towards SoC design for lowering form factor and system cost has favored the use of low cost CMOS processes. High Voltage CMOS (HV-CMOS) processes have started to replace BCD processes in some applications that were previously dominated by BCD technologies.
