Intersil i ambitiøst universitetssamarbejde

Intersil og 'Georgia Institute of Technology' vil i fælleskab udvikle nye generationer af power management teknologier (in english). 

Intersil has announced a broad alliance with the Georgia Institute of Technology.  The announcement includes the opening of a major new development facility and the kick-off of several new programs dedicated to the research and development of advanced power management semiconductor technologies.

This unique alliance involves an on-campus Analogue Processing Centre of Excellence (ACE) and world-class research efforts across multiple Georgia Tech facilities. A keystone of the alliance will be the opening of a new ACE Centre on campus. At the Georgia Electronic Design Centre (GEDC), Intersil engineers, along with Georgia Tech students and faculty, will focus on creating advanced power management circuit designs.

Intersil and the Institute will also engage in joint development through a strategic alliance on advanced process technology development for semiconductors used in high-voltage power management and distribution. The new centre will also utilize 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.

This initiative is expected to spawn significant power savings in the electrical grid and tomorrow's data centres.  The partnership is built on Intersil's longstanding leadership as an expert in the development of power management technologies and recent research advances in semiconductor fabrication processes.

The new Analogue Processing Centre of Excellence (ACE) is a spinout of the Georgia Electronic Design Centre and is located in the Centergy One building in Technology Square on the Georgia Tech campus. The facility already employs eight engineers who use state-of-the-art computer-aided design (CAD) tools to do complex analogue systems simulation.
