TDK-EPC, a group company of
the TDK Corporation, has
intensified its support of
STMicroelectronics, one of the
world's largest semiconductor
companies, in the creation of tested
energy-saving solutions for their
customers' applications. ST just
recently completed the development
of the 50th joint reference design in
the past year, predominantly for
power supplies. These reference
designs combine state-of-the-art ICs
from ST and passive electronic
components from TDK-EPC, an
official statement noted.
A major design challenge for the IC
manufacturers is the selection and
qualification of the most suitable
passive components, which are one
determining factor for the energy
efficiency of the designs. For this
reason, STMicroelectronics joined
forces with TDK-EPC. "We partnered
with TDK-EPC because they
provided access to the broadest
spectrum of high quality passive
components in the market," explains
Ulrich Kirchenberger, Senior Market
Development Manager, Energy
Efficiency, EMEA Region,
STMicroelectronics.
