Plextek becomes certified design house for Analog
Devices Inc
Analog Devices Inc (ADI) has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding
(MOU) with Plextek, whose strong track record in the design of telemetry
products and systems proved pivotal in ADI's decision. As part of this
agreement Plextek becomes a certified design house for ADI, offering
design, development and support services for ADI products including
low data rate wireless connectivity IC's and synthesiser IC's.
ADI is well known as a world-leading semiconductor company specialising
in high-performance analog, mixed-signal and DSP IC's. Plextek offers
complementary services in electronics design and consultancy. ADI will
refer to Plextek, customers who require assistance with wireless connectivity
and telemetry solutions using ADI's ADF701X family of ISM band transmitter
ICs, or the soon to be released ADF702X family of ISM band transceiver
ICs. These are highly integrated parts, which will enable ADI customers
to develop low cost ISM-band transceiver products.
The two companies believe that this cooperative understanding should
result in benefits to both parties and also to ADI customers. Plextek
is currently working on the development of a protocol stack for use
with the ADF702X family of transeivers and ADI plans to offer this free
of charge to customers wishing to develop products based around these
devices.
