The addition of Atmel Corp dramatically increases the semiconductor development, manufacturing, and supply chain capabilities of the Z-Alliance organisation.
This latest development combines the strengths of all three companies to define and provide the next generation of digital power conversion and management products based on Z-One Digital Power Architecture with focus on the communications and data infrastructure markets.
Atmel Corp will apply its semiconductor foundry expertise by initially working with Power-One in developing the next generation, single-chip Z-One Digital Power Manager module.
Later, Atmel, C and D Technologies and Power-One will define and develop other digital power management devices.
The first jointly developed products are expected before the end of 2005.
JD Johnson, Vice President and General Manager of the C and D Technologies Power Electronics Division, commented: "We welcome Atmel as the first semiconductor company to join the Z-Alliance".
"The company's proven expertise in digital design and semiconductor packaging, combined with the C and D and Power-One experience in digital power conversion and power management will bring to the market truly revolutionary products".
"Unlike our competitors, the Z-Alliance already has products in the market, and we are already working on 2nd generation products".
"Joining forces with Atmel can only accelerate the development process and further establish the Z-Alliance at the forefront of digital power management technology".
"Our decision to join the Z-Alliance organisation was motivated by the accelerating acceptance of Z-One digital power technology in the market", said Jeff Katz, Atmel Senior VP Marketing.
"We believe Atmel's semiconductor design and manufacturing capabilities complement our partners' strengths in the traditional power supply market and allow further expansion of Z-One application coverage through reduction of system cost and time to market".
"We also feel this will complement Atmel's existing offerings in low voltage and low power products". Request free introductory details about products from Murata Power Solutions ...
