Summit
Microelectronics is the leader in flexible, multiple-output
power management solutions, for the consumer, communications
and computing markets, integrating precision power regulation
with sophisticated digital control in a single chip.
Summit's unique programmable, non-volatile mixed-signal IC technology
combined with a convenient graphical (GUI) development environment
allows for unparalleled functional and parametric flexibility
in power supply design. This flexibility applied to common problems
such as dynamic voltage/current control and intelligent battery
charging, allows for significant system performance improvement
while realizing drastic reductions in design effort.
Digital programmability enables high integration and system
flexibility in a single chip - impossible with conventional
hard-wired analog power IC's. Additionally, this integration
reduces the bill-of-materials (BOM) yielding the lowest total
system cost and size. Summit solutions address the biggest challenges
facing OEM developers today: increasing system functionality,
performance and complexity accompanied by shrinking development
time cycles. |

AnalogicTech
combines advanced power management circuit design with proprietary
process technology. We are the first company to develop mid/deep
sub-micron CMOS technology specifically for building analog
and mixed-signal power management ICs and discrete devices in
very advanced, yet cost-depreciated DRAM fabs. Our dedicated
process integration team works inside our partners' wafer fabs,
installing proprietary process technology and customizing it
for each facility. This enables AnalogicTech to produce attractively-priced
products with many competitive advantages, including higher
efficiency, faster response time, lower power consumption, less
resistance for lower heat generation, and denser designs with
tighter integration in space-saving packages.
TrenchDMOS
AnalogicTech's proprietary TrenchDMOS process technology offers
revolutionary density and power advantages. Delivering up to
9x more density than commonly used trench-gate MOSFET processes,
our Power MOSFET product line delivers unprecedented size and
performance advantages. The TrenchDMOS process achieves these
advantages by delivering significantly higher channel density
(and therefore lower on-resistance) than conventional Trench
MOSFETs. AnalogicTech's TrenchDMOS process currently offers
a density of 287 million cells per square inch, while conventional
production Trench FETs only reach approximately 100 million
cells per square inch. Our highly innovative process will scale
up to much higher density levels in the near future. Prototypes
are currently under development for a process that will reach
densities of 650 million cells per square inch.
Package Advancements
Working with packaging partners, AnalogicTech develops new packages
that optimize device performance, save space, and offer ease-of-use
and low cost. As package size continues to shrink, AnalogicTech
offers significant new developments. For instance, our SC70JW
package measures only 2.1mm long (lead-to-lead) by 2mm wide
(4.2mm2 footprint). The SC70JW encapsulates a great deal of
functionality in the smallest possible package while using standard
surface mount technology. The SC70JW offers a die-to-footprint
ratio that is five times greater than the standard SC70 with
excellent thermal resistance. |

NextG
is a facilities-based carrier's carrier that designs, permits,
builds, owns, operates and manages Distributed Antenna System
(DAS) networks that enhance wireless performance. NextG Networks?
DAS networks balance the aesthetics requirements of communities
and consumers with the network performance needs of wireless
carriers. Performance improvements include increased voice quality,
greater handling of call traffic, fewer dropped calls, better
mobile coverage, faster file transfers, and enhanced video quality.
NextG's innovative fiber-optic architecture, low-impact, low-emission
equipment, and municipal rights-of-way agreements are the foundation
of each NextG DAS Network. Because the networks are protocol
and frequency neutral, they can carry cellular, PCS, 3G or any
combination of wireless frequencies, standards and technologies.
The networks serve residential, urban, and difficult-to-zone
areas across the United States for numerous carriers of all
sizes. |

We
founded our company for the sole purpose of bringing the advantages
of digital networking to the optical layer. And node by node,
network by network, continent by continent, we're doing precisely
that.
The Infinera Digital Optical Network is the first switched
WDM system, utilizing our breakthrough Photonic Integration
Circuits to provide unrivaled flexibility, capacity, and manageability.
It's raising standards on a technical level, and lowering
barriers from an economic perspective.
Our
patented Photonic Integrated Circuit, or PIC, combines dozens
of optical components onto two tiny chips, each about the
size of a child's fingernail. Lasers, modulators, wavelength
multiplexers and demultiplexers, photodetectors-They're all
there, in one incredibly fast, unbelievably efficient package.
With
Infinera PIC technology, service providers no longer need
dozens of separate devices to extend the benefits of digital
networks to the optical layer. Nor do they have to sacrifice
flexibility and manageability by choosing to deploy all-optical
(and essentially all-analog) networks.
