Cirrus Logic (NASDAQ:CRUS) today announced that two of its
high-precision analog integrated circuits (ICs) have been selected
from hundreds of nominees and named as award finalists in the top
analog IC categories from two respected semiconductor publications:
EDN Magazine and EE Times. Cirrus Logic�s CS556x/7x/8x family of
industrial analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is competing for top
honors in the 2007 EDN Innovation Awards, while the CS4525 digital
amplifier is a finalist in 2008 EE Times Annual Creativity in
Electronics (ACE) Awards. �We are extremely pleased that two of our
analog IC products have been recognized within the industry for
their technology innovation,� said Jason Rhode, president and chief
executive officer, Cirrus Logic. �The CS55XX rewrites the rule book
for performance in Delta-Sigma industrial A/D converters, and the
CS4525 has turned out to be a very appealing solution in MP3
docking stations.� Instituted in 1990, EDN�s Innovation Awards
honor the people, products, and technologies that have shaped the
semiconductor industry over the past year.�Nominees are highlighted
as demonstrating innovation resulting in a significant advance in
technology and/or product development in the past year. The CS55XX
family combines the higher-bandwidth, low-distortion performance of
a SAR converter with high-resolution, low-noise performance that is
the hallmark of Delta-Sigma ADCs. The breakthrough combination of
features provides designers of precision instrumentation, such as
industrial process controllers, laboratory instrumentation, medical
instrumentation and high-speed weighing systems, with a
significantly higher level of measurement accuracy, lower noise and
higher throughput. EE Times� fourth Annual Creativity in
Electronics (ACE) Awards recognize the electronics engineering
industry's most innovative companies and breakthrough technologies.
Cirrus� CS4525 is notable as an ACE Awards finalist because it
integrates a stereo analog-to-digital converter, sample-rate
converter, digital audio processor and a complete 30-watt Class D
amplifier, including the controller and power stage. Moreover, the
CS4525 is unique because it supports both incoming analog and
digital audio signals, and its highly efficient power stage
eliminates the need for a heat sink in system designs. ACE Awards
finalists in each category were chosen by qualified readers of EE
Times and eeProductCenter.com via electronic balloting, from a list
of nominees submitted to readers by expert editors with
accompanying editorial reviews. The 2007 EDN Innovations Award
winners will be announced at a dinner and awards event on April 14,
2008 in San Jose, Calif. Winners of the 2008 EE Times ACE Awards
will be honored at the ACE Awards Gala on April 15, 2008 at the
Fairmont Hotel in San Jose, Calif. Cirrus Logic, Inc. Cirrus Logic
