Intersil Leverages Expertise to Charge Ahead in Power Management
March 17 2014 - 9:00AM
Intersil Corporation (Nasdaq:ISIL), a leading provider of
innovative power management and precision analog solutions, today
announced plans to leverage the company's deep technology portfolio
and strong track record of innovation to focus on power management
solutions for applications ranging from cloud computing to mobile
devices. Under new management, Intersil returned to profitability,
and successfully aligned its business to address the power
management market. The company's renewed focus sets the stage for
Intersil to bring the next wave of products to market addressing
the most challenging power management issues in systems today,
including efficiency, battery life, reliability and intelligence.
"When I joined Intersil in March of 2013, it was with a great
deal of optimism given the strong heritage and technical capability
of the company," said president and CEO Necip Sayiner. "On my first
anniversary as CEO, I am extremely proud of what our employees have
accomplished in a very short time. By putting the company on sound
financial footing and then concentrating our efforts on strategic
areas where we have highly differentiated technology, we are
positioning Intersil to become a leader in the next generation of
power."
Intersil is leveraging a deep portfolio of intellectual
property, and a history of design and process innovation, to enable
the industry's highest performance, most efficient, easy-to-use,
and consistently reliable power management IC solutions. The
company is uniquely positioned to bring a number of key
technologies to the $10 billion power management market. For
example, Intersil is targeting the estimated $6 billion opportunity
with existing and new products designed specifically to help extend
battery life in mobile devices. The ISL911xx buck-boost switching
regulators, also announced today, are one of several key building
blocks that will enable further integration for advanced power
management IC solutions that address the increasing power demands
of smartphones and tablets.
Intersil is also applying its industry-leading digital power
technology to address the power challenges in industrial and
infrastructure markets, which represent an estimated $2.6 billion
opportunity. Intersil introduced its fourth generation digital
power platform at the end of 2013, offering best-in-class
technology ideal for computing and communications infrastructure.
Intersil is bringing digital power to customers in a module form
factor as well, introducing today the ISL8270M/71M product family,
the most compact, reliable and easy-to-use digital power modules
available.
"Many of Intersil's focus target markets and strategic products
are shaping up to be future revenue growth drivers," said Tore
Svanberg, managing director and senior semiconductor analyst at
Stifel Nicholas. Key markets benefiting from Intersil's innovative
power management technology include:
- Wired and Wireless Infrastructure: Due to the
explosion of cloud-based applications and data sharing, and the
resulting increase in data traffic, there is a global build-out of
network and data infrastructure. This power hungry equipment
requires advanced power management. Intersil's comprehensive
portfolio of DC/DC controller and analog and digital power module
solutions are designed to provide best-in-class efficiency and
power density, enabling lower cost equipment and maintenance.
- Mobile: The power management requirements of
mobile devices are becoming more complex as consumers demand more
