Analog Devices Inc. (ADI), the global leader in high-performance
semiconductors for signal-processing and signal-conditioning
applications, has joined the Industry Affiliate Program of the
Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) of the Indian
Institute of Science (IISc), to infuse innovation, provide industry
insights, and accelerate commercialization of active research in
MEMS (Micromachines) and Nano-Sciences in India.
Analog Devices has been a pioneer with many “industry firsts” in
its five decades of innovation, starting from the first ever use of
laser-trim systems to tweak IC performance, to pioneering the use
of inertial MEMS in automotive airbags. In just the last few years,
Analog Devices has launched the industry’s first octal ultrasound
receiver; lowest power and smallest size heart-rate monitor chip;
industry’s lowest power MEMS accelerometer and a lowest-noise MEMS
microphone. Analog Devices India was started in 1995 and its
product development center in Bangalore is involved in some of the
most challenging designs including complex Application-Specific
Standard Products (ASSPs), high performance DSPs, Analog/Mixed
Signal ICs, signal processing ASICs for inertial MEMS, and embedded
software that power these semiconductor chips.
The Centre for Nano Science and Engineering (CeNSE) was
established in 2010 to pursue interdisciplinary research across
several disciplines with a focus on nano-scale systems. Current
research topics include nano-electronics, MEMS/NEMS, nano-materials
and devices, photonics, nano-biotechnology, solar cells and
computational nano-engineering. With its National Nano-fabrication
Facility spanning 14, 000 sq. ft., CeNSE is well equipped to
undertake research projects aimed at solving real life problems in
collaboration with the industry. As a part of the affiliate
program, ADI will work with CeNSE to bridge the gap between
industry and research by initiating a close technical association
and identifying core areas for long term collaboration in
co-development of technologies and products of mutual interest. The
program is designed to ensure a deeper engagement through joint
research projects and unique student support programs involving the
company, faculty and student community at CeNSE.
“We are delighted to have a company like Analog Devices, which
has been at the forefront of innovation for decades, as a partner
of CeNSE,” noted Professor Rudra Pratap, founder-Chairperson of
CeNSE. “ADI’s partnership will give CeNSE much closer ties with the
industry - enable our researchers to work directly on industry
problems, help translate cutting-edge research and technological
innovation into products and services, and to commercialize them
successfully.”
Speaking about the association, Somshubhro (Som) Pal Choudhury,
Managing Director of Analog Devices India stated, “It is an
incredible achievement by CeNSE to have set up such a high-end
interdisciplinary research effort, and a world class
nano-fabrication and characterization facility. As a partner of
CeNSE, Analog Devices will provide product focus to researchers and
aim for much closer ties to co-design and co-develop leading edge
industry solutions.”
