ON Semiconductor køber DSP-firma

ON Semiconductor har købt Sound Design Technologies, Ltd., der har specialiseret sig inden for ultra low-power DSP-teknologi (in english).

ON Semiconductor has acquired privately held Sound Design Technologies, Ltd. (SDT) from an affiliate of Global Equity Capital, LLC.

- The acquisition of Sound Design Technologies solidifies our position as a leading supplier of ultra-low-power digital signal processing (DSP) technology for hearing aids and audio processing applications, says Robert Tong, vice president of ON Semiconductor’s Medical Division.

- In addition, the acquisition strengthens the company’s talent base and adds an experienced design and applications engineering team for the audiology segment. SDT’s advanced manufacturing expertise in chip-scale capacitors and high density packaging will also expand our capabilities in delivering advanced, highly miniaturized packaging technology, crucial for hearing aid and similarly size-constrained applications that demand medical-grade quality.

 Michael Hirano, executive vice president, operations of Global Equity Capital, states:
- Matching SDT’s cutting edge technology with ON Semiconductor’s worldwide presence and industry expertise is a natural next step in the evolution of the business, also benefiting SDT customers building sophisticated hearing products.

SDT is a leading designer and manufacturer of ultra-low-power semiconductor solutions for hearing aids and portable, battery-powered DSP applications, and a leading provider of advanced high density interconnect technologies used in custom miniaturized packages.

Based in Burlington, Ontario, Canada, SDT has a 37-year history of innovation in developing miniaturized audio processors.  The hearing instrument products and manufacturing operations of Gennum Corporation were acquired in 2007 to form SDT.
