Digital power designs come from Toronto

Digital power IP development will enable Sipex to break through traditional power boundaries to provide system architecture solutions for power management.

Sipex Corp has set up a design centre in Toronto, Canada to commercialise digital power intellectual property that has been jointly developed with the University of Toronto.

The digital power intellectual property development will enable Sipex to broaden its power portfolio and break through traditional power boundaries to provide system architecture solutions for power management.

"We feel that the relationship with the University of Toronto has been very beneficial to Sipex, and we are pleased to establish the design centre near the University to commercialise the digital power IP we both developed".

"I look forward to strengthening the co-operation between our two organisations", says Lee Cleveland, Senior Vice President of Engineering at Sipex.

A pioneer in the use of digital control for low-power supplies used in cellphones, laptops and other portable electronics, Engineering Professor Aleksandar Prodic, of the University of Toronto, has been collaborating with Sipex for the past two years in the area of digital power.

The engineers at the Toronto design centre will develop commercial products based on that research.

"Working with Sipex has resulted in exceptional results in digital power management".

"Sipex encourages and understands how important it is to allow researchers to be creative, and that the freedom in research results in innovation", says Professor Prodic.
