Motorola introduced SmartMOS 7 in 2000 as a 0.35-micron smart-power process with a 65-volt breakdown capability. Its defining idea was to put control logic and power devices on the same silicon substrate, so a single chip could handle both signal processing and tasks such as switching or driving a load.

What was Motorola SmartMOS 7?

SmartMOS 7 was a semiconductor manufacturing process announced by Motorola Inc.’s Semiconductor Products Sector in Toulouse, France, on June 13, 2000. “Smart power” describes its combination of conventional logic with power transistors on one chip. Instead of requiring separate chips for control and power functions, a design could integrate them, potentially reducing circuit size and external component count.

Motorola described SmartMOS 7 as a 0.35-micron process with 65-volt breakdown capability. The figures describe the announced process and its device capability; they do not establish the operating voltage of every product made with it. EDN’s report on the announcement covered the process and its intended applications.

What devices and performance figures did it support?

A Motorola technical paper described SmartMOS 7 as supporting a broader set of devices than logic and power transistors alone. Its published figures included:

These process-level specifications do not, by themselves, establish the performance or exact capabilities of a particular product. The Motorola technical paper provides the device details.

Why did Motorola develop a smart-power process?

Putting control and power functions together could save board space and reduce the number of separate components in systems with tight size constraints. Motorola highlighted embedded processors for automotive and cellphone applications, as well as audio amplifiers. The process was also presented as a way to bring complex audio processing and power devices onto the same substrate, with the aim of reducing cost, size, and current drain in portable devices.

EDN reported Motorola’s estimate that the process could reduce integrated-controller size by as much as 90%. That was an attributed expectation from 2000, not a universal measured reduction across all products. The announcement describes intended uses; it does not document specific SmartMOS 7 products or establish how widely the process was adopted.

How did SmartMOS develop after SmartMOS 7?

Motorola introduced SmartMOS8 medium voltage in 2003. The later process used 0.25-micron design rules, supported up to 90 volts, and combined power, analog, and digital logic. Motorola identified automotive safety and telecommunications among its planned applications. These are SmartMOS8 specifications, not revisions to SmartMOS 7’s announced figures. EE Times reported on the SmartMOS8 introduction.

What happened to Motorola’s semiconductor technology?

Motorola transferred its semiconductor operations to Freescale Semiconductor and completed the spin-off in 2004. NXP’s historical timeline preserves SMARTMOS in the Freescale technology lineage, including automotive smart-power applications. This corporate and technology history connects the Motorola process family to later semiconductor operations; it does not mean SmartMOS 7 itself remained unchanged. NXP’s company history records the lineage.
