About Us: Business Concept

The market for semiconductors is rapidly expanding with the fast emergence of a ubiquitous network society. A variety of mobile devices - mobile phones, information terminals, car electronics and intelligent home appliances - all require semiconductors. There seems to be no limit to the demand for more functions and better performance. Thin, lightweight, low-power devices that operate for extended periods on a single charge are in demand. In addition, devices with these features are expected to have shorter time to market. Never before has the development of new products been so challenging.

We have been focusing on the creation of compact, low-power semiconductors since we started the development of a CMOS LSI for watches in 1969. Since then, we have steadily built up our expertise in power-saving, space-saving and time-saving designs. This has enabled us to quickly obtain the semiconductor development technology needed to meet the demands of the new era of ubiquitous networks. Epson has the unique technologies and a passion for excellence that enable it to deliver the high added-value solutions that you need. Our goal is to be a true partner for you, by providing you with strategic advantages for your product development with technology to save power, time, and space.

With our three core technologies - low current leakage process technology that dramatically reduces standby current, system algorithms for highly efficient power utilization, and analog IPs optimally designed for low power consumption - Epson presents solutions for you to develop applications that exceed your expectations.

We have been taking on the challenge of reducing standby current since we first developed the CMOS LSI for watches nearly 40 years ago. The technologies we have accumulated since then are utilized in a variety of advanced LSI devices - such as clock ICs whose standby current has been reduced to 1% that of previous devices. The reduction of standby current is a key issue for high-integration LSIs and SoC devices. For example, by isolating the timer and wake-up circuits from SoC, the standby current of equipment can be reduced in nano-ampere increments. Epson meets your needs for substantial reduction of standby current with its unique low current leakage process know-how.

Every effort is made to develop both the software and the hardware of Epson's advanced LSIs to minimize their power consumption. We offer solutions to maximize the power utilization for your entire system. USB controllers that reduce CPU workload via the optimum data segmentation. Network controllers that achieve the minimum power consumption by processing network protocols. Watch ICs that are driven by the optimum clock frequency and thus operate with low power. These are some of the devices realized by algorithms resulting from Epson's accumulated expertise in enhancing power utilization. We provide services that minimize the product development resources you need and shorten the time to market.

We have spent years developing unique technologies that reduce the power consumption of analog circuits. This work began with our CMOS LSIs for watches and has continued with the development of various low power management IPs such as DC/DC, LDO, Detector, and SWReg, as well as the development of low-power analog IPs such as ADC, PLL, and real-time clocks. By combining multiple analog IPs, we have achieved the low power operation indispensable to mobile equipment. Our low power analog IPs offer you strategic and competitive advantages, by realizing shorter time-to-market and low power products.

We offer optimally designed products, information and services in a most timely manner from the very beginning of product development to mass production. We believe our support throughout all stages of the product cycle will lead to the adoption of Epson devices for your next products. With the motto "put our customer's needs first," we offer both standard and customized products, services, and support finely tuned to your needs. We at Epson seek to build long, close, true partnerships with our customers, by offering them solutions that maximize their product value. We also desire to contribute to the creation of a safe, healthy, and sustainable society.
