FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: October 1, 2009 (South Burlington, VT) - asicNorth, Inc., a VLSI design service company, announced today asicNorth's ADC cores support the next generation A/MS design implementations in the high-voltage, 180nm silicon technology. The AN12512P is a 12-bit, 125Ms/s pipeline data converter. It has the ability to scale power consumption by reducing precision or sampling frequency. At this performance point, the AN12512P is ideally suited for some of today’s fastest growing markets: GPS communications and medical instrumentation. The AN210S is a 10-bit 2MS/s SAR architecture data converter. Providing better performance than most commercially available IP for its area and power consumption, the AN210S is ideally suited for a number of general purpose applications in a mixed-signal system. “As the analog / mixed signal market continues to grow at the 180nm technology node, we felt it was important to enable next generation mixed-signal designs with the IP necessary,” says asicNorth President, Michael Slattery. “Applications based upon high-voltage technologies are just beginning to proliferate in the market. Data converters are important IP components of these new systems. The analog cores announced today represent the beginnings of a new IP ecosystem."
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: September 24, 2009 - (PR.com) (Dallas, TX) - MicroTransponder Inc., a privately held medical device company developing a suite of wireless neurostimulators, has just announced that they have entered into a development agreement with asicNorth to design an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) circuits for the SAINT™ device. “We are pleased to have asicNorth as a design partner given their deep circuit design expertise and the large number of engineers with relevant ASIC experience,” stated CTO Scott Armstrong. This development agreement will be the cornerstone of MicroTransponder’s circuit design and provide the ability to add many new features to the device. “Working with MicroTransponder gives us the chance to partner with a rising star in the medical device landscape. The chronic pain market is one of the largest in healthcare and MicroTransponder is at the forefront of new innovation in wireless technology,” stated Michael Slattery, President of asicNorth. “We are pleased to bring our deep mixed-signal design and ultra low power expertise to bear upon medical technology that will transform the future of pain management. Our experience with a variety of technology and manufacturers allows us to pick the right technology for the MicroTransponder application.” About MicroTransponder, Inc.
For Immediate Release: September 15, 2009 The five fastest-growing Vermont companies over the past five years in five business sectors were recognized September 15th at the 7th annual 5x5x5 Growth Awards at the Sheraton Burlington Hotel and Conference Center in South Burlington, Vermont. KeyBank and Vermont Business Magazine co-presented the event. With growth of 502% between 2004 and 2008, asicNorth ranked 3rd in the Service sector. In a prepared statement, Vermont Governor Douglas praised the award recipients and suggested the economic recovery would be powered by such companies. Recipients were: Service Manufacturing Technology Wholesale Construction Further details are available http://www.vermontbiz.com/special-article/5x5x5-awards. Semiconductor design service provider asicNorth has ended its global search, choosing Arizona to expand its operations. The company is currently hiring experienced engineers, with plans to grow its new Tempe operation over the next few years. “asicNorth is growing into new markets,” said President Mike Slattery “After surveying many cities it was apparent metro-Phoenix was the best choice to provide the new business opportunities and skilled workforce needed for our expansion.” “Arizona is an ideal base for companies who need to reach out to the world,” said Jan Lesher, Director of the Arizona Department of Commerce. “We are grateful asicNorth chose to locate in the state, where its presence will improve the local economy.” “asicNorth brings enhanced value for the semiconductor industry in Greater Phoenix,” said Barry Broome, Greater Phoenix Economic Council president and CEO. “This high-tech firm will complement the existing base of high-wage, technology employers in the City of Tempe.” The expert logic and circuit designers at asicNorth provide highly skilled design services to the Semiconductor industry. asicNorth works with industry leaders such as Broadcom, Cypress Semiconductor, IBM, Qimonda, Teradyne and Zoran. The company is headquartered in South Burlington, Vermont with more than 40 employees. An ASIC is a chip designed for a particular application; commonly used in automotive computers to control vehicle functions and in PDAs. ASICs use existing circuit building blocks connected in new ways to achieve performance. It is far easier than designing a new chip from scratch. asicNorth provides solutions for both ASIC design and assembly and the pre-designed building-block infrastructure in leading edge silicon technologies.
