SkyWater Technology Expands Leadership in U.S. Semiconductor Manufacturing With Infineon IP License Agreement
Proven Automotive-Grade IP Portfolio Accessible on SkyWater's 130nm Platform BLOOMINGTON, Minn., July 29, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SkyWater Technology (NASDAQ: SKYT), the trusted technology realization partner, today announced a license agreement with Infineon Technologies, granting access to a robust library of silicon-proven, mixed-signal ASIC design IP. This new IP enables customers to design and build high-reliability mixed-signal SoCs entirely within a secure U.S. supply chain – a strategic milestone for U.S. semiconductor independence that extends SkyWater's leadership in domestic innovation. The licensed IP, originally developed by Cypress Semiconductor and validated in high-volume, automotive-grade applications, will be released through SkyWater's S130 platform. SkyWater is uniquely positioned to support both commercial and defense markets at scale. "This is about reshaping the future of semiconductor innovation in the U.S.," said Ross Miller, SVP of SkyWater's Commercial and A&D Business. "Today, over 90% of global mixed-signal ASIC chip production happens offshore, despite these mature nodes being critical for automotive, industrial, and defense systems. We're changing that. By combining proven, silicon-validated IP with trusted U.S. manufacturing, we're empowering customers to design and manufacture reliable mixed-signal ASICs at scale within a secure domestic supply chain." The S130 platform builds on decades of success, offering a comprehensive suite of mixed-signal building blocks, including embedded Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) options and SRAM compilers. These capabilities have powered billions of devices across automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer sectors. Now, SkyWater is extending this proven foundation to new ASIC developers, system companies, and government customers seeking long-term support and scalable U.S. manufacturing solutions. "The S130 platform has earned its reputation for reliability in demanding real-world environments," said Percy Gilbert, SVP of Engineering at SkyWater. "By making this IP accessible, we're enabling customers to reduce design risk, accelerate time to market, and lower development costs when building complex analog and mixed-signal ASICs – all while leveraging a mature, silicon-proven platform." SkyWater plans to integrate this IP portfolio into its Technology as a Service (TaaS℠) model, enabling customers to design sophisticated, high-reliability mixed-signal SoCs with components that have been validated in automotive and mission-critical real-world applications. The portfolio includes key components such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), digital-to-analog converters (DACs), power management, timing, and communications modules – validated in mission-critical applications. Phased Release Based on Market Demand SkyWater will prioritize the conversion of these IP blocks for general foundry use based on customer demand across various markets. It will provide full design enablement support including PDKs, documentation, and integration assistance for qualified engagements. With this agreement, SkyWater continues to redefine what it means to be a trusted U.S. foundry partner, delivering advanced technology solutions that drive innovation and strengthen domestic semiconductor independence.

Scotland Women appoint two assistant coaches ahead of summer test matches
Ross Miller and Steve Shingler have been appointed assistant coaches for the Scotland Women's team, ahead of this summer's test matches against Italy and Ireland, and the 2025 Rugby World Cup in England. Ross Miller returns to the national setup as Assistant Coach (forwards), replacing Fraser Brown, who concluded his consultancy role with the team at the end of the 2025 Guinness Women's Six Nations. A former Melrose player, Miller brings continuity and familiarity to the squad, having previously worked with the team during the 2021 Rugby World Cup in New Zealand (played in 2022). Most recently, Miller led the Scotland Men U18 team at the Six Nations Festival in April. He rejoined the women's programme at the start of the current pre-season training block this month. Joining Miller is Steve Shingler, who takes on the role of Assistant Coach (attack). He will replace Matt Banahan, who has chosen to move on to another coaching opportunity. Shingler arrives on secondment from PWR side Trailfinders Women, where he has served as Assistant Coach for the past season. A former professional player, Shingler brings a wealth of playing and coaching experience, having represented Scarlets, London Irish, Cardiff, Mont-de-Marsan, and Ealing Trailfinders across a distinguished career as a fly-half and centre. Scotland Women Head Coach, Bryan Easson said: 'I'd like to thank Matt for his contribution to the team, there is no doubt that our attack has kicked on in the two years he has been with us. Whilst it's disappointing that he won't be with us for the Rugby World Cup, we respect his decision in choosing an opportunity that is closer to home and wish him all the very best. 'This does now present an exciting opportunity to reset and refresh our coaching team. We're very grateful to Trailfinders Women for working with us to bring Steve into our environment. 'We welcomed Steve into camp during this year's Six Nations and we were really impressed by him then. We have several players at Trailfinders, including some of our key attacking players, who have a fantastic relationship with him already and know what he's about which will give us a smooth transition. 'Ross has bedded back in with us really well, we've had a brilliant few weeks as a group with him so far. We've worked together for a long time, and he did a great job with us at the last Rugby World Cup. I think he's a brilliant addition to the group, he knows the players and the players know him which helps too.' On his move, Matt Banahan said: 'I loved my time with Scotland, and I'm incredibly grateful for the opportunity to coach at international level, but the chance to take on a new coaching role closer to home was too good to turn down. 'I'm so proud of what the team has achieved in these last two years, especially their WXV2 title win in 2023. This is a really special group, and I have loved getting to know them as players and people. I wish the team all the very best at the Rugby World Cup and everything else in the future.'

Old promises of restoring yesterday's Las Vegas underscore revamp of new Commercial Center
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) – The Commercial Center in Las Vegas is set to undergo a major redevelopment, transforming the historic site into a cultural arts district with new attractions and facilities. 'They wiped the whole fund out': Commissioner wants to claw back $8M given to chairman's district The redevelopment project aims to revitalize the 62-year-old Commercial Center, which was once a hub for legendary rock acts like The Doors and Led Zeppelin. The plan includes creating a cultural arts district that will offer fine arts and entertainment options, distinct from the downtown Arts District in Las Vegas. 'It will be a true live, work, play cultural arts district,' Ross Miller, former Clark County Commissioner, emphasized the project's potential impact, said. Tick Segerblom, Clark County Commissioner, described the area as having been very rundown but now ripe for development, stating, 'There's lots of things happening, but this place was very rundown.' The redevelopment project has faced challenges, including funding and planning disputes. Former Commissioner Ross Miller allocated about ten million dollars of discretionary parks and recreation money to the project, which stirred controversy. Incoming Commissioner April Becker expressed concerns about how the money was spent, questioning the accountability and planning behind the financial decisions. The Commercial Center has been neglected for decades, with businesses catering to niche markets, including a swingers club. The county has invested hundreds of millions to improve safety and infrastructure, adding a bus line and security measures. UNLV is partnering with the county to host arts events at the Commercial Center, with students performing in the Composers Room, a venue with historical significance. The project includes ambitious plans like creating a Fremont-Street-like experience and a surf park, aiming to attract developers and revitalize the area. The Commercial Center redevelopment promises to breathe new life into a historic area of Las Vegas, blending cultural arts with modern attractions. As the project unfolds, it seeks to celebrate the city's heritage while paving the way for future growth. All facts from this article were gathered by KLAS journalists.
