SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 10, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrated
Device Technology, Inc.® (IDT®) (NASDAQ: IDTI) today
announced that it is integrating its industry-leading wireless
power products with recently acquired signal conditioning
technology from its ZMDI acquisition to develop new families
of highly programmable semiconductors. The new devices will
target several key applications, including wearables,
home-automation, industrial, instrumentation and medical
products.
The products under development will integrate IDT's proven
wireless power technology with signal conditioning products
developed by engineers at ZMDI®, which IDT acquired in
December.
"Many of the products that use sensing would also benefit from
the ease of use that wireless power delivers," said Sailesh Chittipeddi, IDT's chief technology
officer and vice president of Global Operations. "For several
sensing applications that have a finite ability to retain a charge
and either need replacement batteries or wired charging schemes,
the ability to combine wireless charging with sensing opens
the option to a wide array of applications, from implantable
devices to home automation, wearables, industrial and
instrumentation devices."
Both technologies share a common 32-bit embedded microcontroller
core which can be used to program both the wireless power circuitry
as well as the high-precision analog front-end circuits used in
signal conditioning applications. This provides a significant level
of differentiation and flexibility compared with products that
currently exist in the marketplace. In addition to bringing
greater flexibility, the integration can potentially lower bill of
materials for development of these applications while shrinking the
footprint.
