ZMDI Signs Agreement With Fairchild Semiconductor

Global supplier of energy-efficient analog and mixed-signal solutions announced its cooperation with Fairchild Semiconductor to develop energy-efficient power-management solutions.

DRESDEN, Germany -- ZMDI AG, a global supplier of energy-efficient analog and mixed-signal solutions for automotive, industrial, consumer, and medical applications, announced its strategic cooperation with Fairchild Semiconductor to develop energy-efficient power-management solutions for a range of point-of-load (POL) applications.

According to the agreement, ZMDI’s advanced digital POL technology, in conjunction with Fairchild’s XSTM DrMOS technology, will provide highly energy-efficient power-management solutions for applications such as base stations, telecommunications switches, network routers, servers, storage and industrial personal computers (PCs).

“We are excited about the strategic partnership with Fairchild Semiconductor to jointly develop complete, matching chipset solutions for point-of-load applications,” stated Bernhard Huber, ZMDI business line manager for standard components. “Together with our partner Fairchild, our goal is to enable higher energy-efficient solutions across all output loading conditions, while reducing the component count through system level integration.”

ZMDI and Fairchild Semiconductor will demonstrate their smart power-management technology at Electronica in Munich, Germany from 09 to 12 November 2010.
