MLP - Multi Chip Modules

    A multi-chip module (MCM) is a specialized electronic package where multiple Integrated circuits (ICs), semiconductor dies or other discrete components are packaged onto a unifying leadframe or substrate, facilitating their use as a single assembled component. MCM technology eliminates the need for multiple packages which can significantly reduce inter-package propagation delay, power consumption of the system and overall footprint.

    Applications

    With ever increasing demands for miniaturization and higher operating speeds, multi-chip module systems (MCMs) become increasingly attractive in a variety of applications. The “chip-stack” package, a development in MCM technology, is an attractive option in many applications such cell phones, smart phones and tablets.

    Benefits of Multi-Chip Modules

    • Lower cost
    • Lower power consumption
    • Smaller package sizes enable greater miniaturization
    • Smaller overall footprint that multi-individual packages
    • Faster time-to-market (ideal for product with short life cycles)
    • Flexibility through integration of differing semiconductor technology
    • Simplification of complexity by putting several devices into a single package
    • Greater reliability with decreased number of interconnects between components

    Applications for MCMs include

    • Automotive
    • LED arrays
    • Portable electronics
    • RF wireless modules
    • Power amplifiers & Server
    • Military and space avionics
    • High-density single module computers
    • High-power communication devices & Wearable computers
