Cambridge Semiconductor Limited (CamSemi) is a fabless semiconductor business based in Cambridge, England that was acquired by US-based competitor Power Integrations Inc., in January 2015.〔()〕 The company specializes in power management integrated circuits and was spun out of Cambridge University in August 2000 with seed investment from the Cambridge University Challenge Fund, as a commercial venture arising out of the research conducted by Professors Gehan Amarantunga and Florin Udrea at the Cambridge University Engineering Department.〔(Profile - Gehan Amaratunga - Cambridge Semiconductor: how to spinout from university )〕 CamSemi is developing a range of new ICs for use in power conversion products such as mains power supplies and lighting. The company’s products are enabling power supply manufacturers to develop low cost products that comply with Energy Star, the European code of conduct and related energy-efficiency regulations. All CamSemi products are based on a proprietary portfolio of technologies and topologies including advanced control architectures, RDFC and PowerBrane. The company’s venture capital investors included DFJ Esprit, Scottish Equity Partners and cleantech investors The Carbon Trust and NES Partners. ==Launched products== *C2470 mixed signal controllers and RDFC (Resonant Discontinuous Forward Converter) topology for switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) *C2140, C2150, C2183 and C2283 primary side sensing (PSS) flyback controllers for SMPS *C2160 and C2170 PSS flyback controller families targeting 5 star-rated mobile phone chargers with <30 mW no-load *C5183 PSS flyback controller with active start-up for SMPS *C3120, C3183 and C3682 LED drivers ICs for solid-state lighting 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cambridge Semiconductor Limited」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
