Analog Devices, Inc. (NYSE: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, was recognized by the editorial staff of the electronic industry's EDN magazine when it captured three first-place honors at the 19th Annual EDN Innovation Awards ceremony held March 30 in San Jose, Calif. ADI was cited for its unique, state-of-the-art electronic products and outstanding achievements in engineering related to medical ultrasound imaging, digital power control, and MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) motion sensing technology.
"Medical, power-control, and sensing technologies represent increasingly important application areas in the semiconductor and electronics industries,” said Rick Nelson, EDN editor-in-chief. “EDN readers and editors recognized the significance of these technologies in choosing as winners ADI’s AD9272 octal ultrasound receiver in the 'Analog ICs’ category, the ADXL001 industrial vibration sensor in the 'Passive Components and Sensors' category, and the ADP1043 digital power controller in the 'Power-Controller ICs' category. I congratulate all of the winners on the great work they did in 2008.”
Finalists for the EDN Innovation Awards were selected from hundreds of candidates by EDN’s technical editors, EDN readers, and the EDN Editorial Advisory Board. EDN’s editorial staff then cast votes for the finalists to determine the 2008 EDN Innovation Award winners. A complete list of all the winners will appear in the April 23, 2009, issue of EDN.
