Pragmatic Semiconductor Advances Flexible ICs with Sustainable NFC Solutions

Pragmatic Semiconductor has launched the NFC Connect platform, which incorporates flexible integrated circuits (ICs) for item-level connectivity. Their advanced FlexIC foundry allows rapid design-to-production cycles, supporting high-volume production for next-generation flexible electronics.

Located at Pragmatic Park, the UK's first 300 mm semiconductor fabrication site, the facility can produce billions of chips annually. The FlexIC Platform Gen 3 aids in designing mixed-signal ASICs, streamlining workflows with compatibility for leading electronic design automation tools.

Pragmatic's manufacturing emphasizes sustainability through low-temperature processes and renewable energy use, reducing energy consumption significantly. The technology supports compact designs, particularly in consumer electronics, while enabling cost-effective deployment of connected labels and tags.
