Istanbul Design Centre is staffed by mixed signal designers who have worked on timing circuits in world-leading companies such as Cypress, Maxim, IMI and LSI Logic.

SpectraLinear, a leading provider of timing solutions for the consumer, computer and communication markets, has opened a design centre in Istanbul, Turkey "We have established the Istanbul Design Centre with a team of very experienced mixed signal designers who have worked on timing circuits in world-leading companies such as Cypress, Maxim, IMI and LSI Logic", said SpectraLinear CTO Greg Richmond

"We were drawn to this area by the large number of highly skilled engineers, who are part of a very stable and capable workforce".

"Many have graduated from US universities and gained valuable experience in the semiconductor industry".

"Those who haven't yet returned home have expressed considerable interest in doing so if they can work for a leading-edge chip company such as SpectraLinear".

Richmond indicated that the presence of advanced microelectronics laboratories in local universities was a major draw for SpectraLinear, as well as the availability of consulting services from professors in their EE departments.

Finally, the Turkish government was highly supportive, being anxious to subsidise high-tech investment in the country.

"We plan to expand the group to 8-10 design engineers over time and to create a centre of excellence in clock design from IP generation to platform and personalisation designs for consumer and PC applications", concluded Richmond.
