Lisbon, Portugal, December 13, 2011 – SILICONGATE LDA, a specialized supplier of Power Management IP for ASIC/SoC, announced that It received the Best Paper Award at IP-SOC 2011 for its high performance Power Management IP.

SiliconGate brought to the exhibition two of its high performance IPs, allowing conference participants to directly interact with the test setup conditions so as to verify the outstanding performance of the displayed parts.
The two IPs presented were the SGC67 buck DC/DC, with below 0.5 µs transient response time, and the SCG21510 32 kHz crystal oscillator for RTC, consuming under 25 nA.

"It was incredibly rewarding to come to IP-SOC 2011 and show our IPs. For this type of performance you need to see it to believe it. Once we showed it, the positive feedback was immediate.” said Floriberto Lima, CEO of SiliconGate. "Currently our clients are high-end chip manufacturers, but I expect that given the advantages of using high-end IP, such as smaller external device requirements, improved robustness and better overall system performance, the use of high performance power management IP will spread quickly. The Best Paper Award was the cherry on top of the cake at the end of two very gratifying conference days.”

“D&R is delighted to see the ongoing innovation from new dynamic IP providers of its community. Such a contribution make us believe in a bright future of the IP business as a catalyst of the whole Electronic System Industry development» added Gabriele Saucier CEO of D&R.
