Investing in higher temperature applications

The collaboration between C-Mac MicroTechnology and Belgium based Cissoid will result in C-Mac providing 'plug and play' modules integrating Cissoid's range of high temperature semiconductor products. The products will be designed to operate within specification up to 225°C and provide functions such as voltage regulation, voltage references, analogue to digital converters, amplifiers, high voltage MOSFETs and drivers. The two companies hope to expand their existing customer relationships in the, aerospace, defence, automotive and space industries. C-Mac's general manager, Paul Hill, said: "I am extremely pleased and excited with this collaboration with Cissoid. It is perfectly aligned to our long term strategy to extend our high reliability products and technologies into very high temperature applications. We are increasingly seeing the demand for microelectronics capable of operating in extremely challenging environments across a range of applications and industries. We have invested in pushing the boundaries of our existing technology into these higher temperature ranges and the relationship with Cissoid is part of this programme."
