Cost reduction examples

SILICON PASSIVES, DECREASE YOUR COST

IPDiA realizations show that you can decrease significantly your costs at various level with Silicon Passive components.

• Example 1: high volume product
• Example 2: low volume product

DESIGN EXAMPLE

• What is the impact on BOM of using PICS in a high volume application?
• Example of a PICS for GSM, Edge and 3 W-CDMA transceiver

BOM FOR THE DISCRETE SOLUTIONS

IPDiA SOLUTION: HALF THE SIZE, HALF THE COST

OTHER DESIGN EXAMPLE

• Does the value proposition also apply to a low volume design?
• Example of a low volume application

SMD designs	SMD
C	22
R	9
L	22
Components	53

IPDiA SOLUTION: SIZE DIVIDED BY 3, COST BY 2.5

IMPACT ON OTHER COSTS

Cut investment costs in a new production line → Fewer SMDs to pick & place frees up manufacturing capacity! Reduced cost of stocks → Fewer components / less stock Additional cost reduction benefits → Simpler purchasing and supply chain → Use our design center to free up engineering resources

MANUFACTURING INVESTMENT SAVING IN THIS EXAMPLE Saving of 36 seconds per board for P&P For 100 k units it saves 42 days of production (with 100 % uptime) NO NEED to invest in second product line
