Intersil is working with the Georgia Institute of Technology for
the development of power management semiconductor
technologies.
As part of the alliance they will open a development facility
called the Analogue Processing Centre of Excellence (ACE) on the
Georgia Tech campus.
The work will include the joint development of advanced process
technology for semiconductors used in high-voltage power management
and will also use a technique developed at a Georgia Tech-founded
company known as collaborative signal processing that removes
performance-limiting impairments such as signal loss, dispersion,
skew and noise.
"The clean and efficient generation, transmission and storage of
power are key challenges of the twenty-first century," said Dave
Bell, CEO, Intersil.
"We are delighted to be working closely with one of the world's
finest educational institutions to develop innovative technologies
that will meet our needs for smarter, greener and more efficient
power solutions," said Bell.
"This is an ideal example of academic and industrial leaders
joining forces to co-develop advanced real-world technologies,"
said Georgia Tech President G.P. 'Bud' Peterson.
