NORWOOD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced that the company has been
honored with the 2017 IEEE Corporate Innovation Award “for sustained
innovation and leadership in the development of high-performance data
converter technology and products.” This award was established in 1985
to recognize outstanding innovation by organizations across the world,
and recipients are honored for their resolve to discover, extend, or
complement technological advancements in education, industry, research,
and service in IEEE fields of interest.
ADI was recognized for pushing data converter performance boundaries in
areas such as sample rate, dynamic range, power efficiency, and
integration. These innovations enabled new system architectures that
helped the digital revolution to open new markets and applications. ADI
converters have provided key enabling technology in fields as diverse as
scientific and industrial instruments, wireless telecommunications,
audio, video and imaging processing, medical imaging, automotive,
consumer, and aerospace and defense systems.
“Our data converter leadership has been ADI’s most distinguished
contribution to the semiconductor industry, and is an important part of
the foundation upon which we built our success over the last 50 years,”
said Ray Stata, co-founder and Chairman of the Board of Analog Devices.
“This is a record achievement that represents and celebrates our rich
history, and in which we all take great pride. We thank the IEEE Awards
Board for this honor, and all of our employees for their sustained
dedication to engineering innovation.”
ADI has advanced converter technology at various levels including system
level design, integration, architecture, circuit, material, and test.
These innovations have led to notable improvements in resolution of SAR
ADCs, delta-sigma converters with significant benefits in
cost/power/integration, very high accuracy precision DACs, and high
speed ADCs and DACs that pushed the limits of converter speed with high
dynamic range.
Providing educational materials both at professional and university
levels has been an important driver for ADI’s championing of industry
change. ADI’s culture of teaching and willingness to share information
through publishing its work helped move the entire industry, as
evidenced by award-winning IEEE conference papers, teaching grants, the
publication of application notes, journals, textbooks, and seminars.
Ray Stata will represent Analog Devices and receive the award at the
2017 IEEE Honors Ceremony, which will be the culminating event at the
new IEEE Vision, Innovation, and Challenges Summit held on May 25,
2017 at The Palace in San Francisco (http://ieee-vics.org/).
