Three NXP Products Are Winners in EDN China Awards 2009
NXP Receives Three EDN China Innovation Awards Demonstrating Excellence in High Performance Mixed Signal Technology
NXP Semiconductors today announced that it has been awarded three EDN China 2009 Innovation Awards, recognizing outstanding NXP products created in China over the past year. NXP Semiconductors is dedicated to innovation and continues to develop new technologies and products addressing the changing needs of the market, with a local R&D team that supports and helps customers achieve greater success.
Three NXP products were winners in this year’s EDN China Awards: the LPC1700 series microcontrollers was awarded “Best Product” for Embedded Systems and ICs, while the PN544 chip and the BLL6H1214-500 LDMOS L-band radar power transistor were respectively voted “Leading Product” in the “Telecommunications and Network” and the “Analog and Composite Signals” categories. The EDN China Innovation Awards was set up in 2005 aiming to recognize the most influential products and technologies in the industry every year. The awards are voted by industry engineers, experts, and readers, which makes the voting results representative of wider public opinion.
Owen Jin, Product Marketing Director, Multimarket Semiconductors, Greater China, NXP Semiconductors said, “The EDN China Awards serve as an industry communication platform providing electronics engineers with the opportunity to vote for their favorite products. We are very honored that NXP has received three awards this year. We are very grateful for the industry support and recognition which validate the direction we are taking on future technology R&D. NXP developers are using their expertise on RF, analog, power management, digital processing and manufacturing to provide solutions in High Performance Mixed Signal (HPMS) and standard products solutions that meet the needs, lead in the market, and win the recognition of engineers.”
“The EDN Innovation Awards, which originated in Silicon Valley in the U.S., have been successfully held in China for five years and have been well received by IC producers at home and abroad, as well as China’s domestic engineers,” Zhang Wei Ming, Publisher of EDN China said. “With 181 products from 95 companies in the competition this year, EDN China invited over 200,000 readers and registered users to participate in the online vote. The receipt of the Innovation Awards by NXP Semiconductors illustrates the company’s leading position in terms of technology expertise and achievements. The awards also show recognition by design engineers. We sincerely congratulate NXP on the achievement.”
The NXP LPC1700 series microcontrollers, based on the new ARM® Cortex™-M3 Revision 2 core, add tightly integrated power control, including a unique Wake-up Interrupt Controller (WIC) that allows for graceful and efficient entry into and exit from lowest power sleep states. Verified by EEMBC as the highest performance Cortex-M3 microcontrollers, the LPC1700 series targets a wide range of applications, including eMetering, lighting, industrial networking, alarm systems, white goods and motor control.
