WESTLAKE VILLAGE, USA: Inphi Corp., a high-speed analog semiconductor company, has announced the establishment of the Inphi Design Center in the United Kingdom (UK).
The new establishment enables Inphi to accelerate its research and development (R&D) of high-speed interface devices targeted at 100 Gbps networks, as well as synchronize its technology initiatives with strategic partners and customers worldwide.
Building on its excellence in R&D and world class design, Inphi has assembled a UK team under the leadership of Mike Harwood, as the new Director of Inphi United Kingdom. The team will leverage Inphi’s core competencies in advanced analog circuit design, signal integrity, power management, packaging and process technologies to create a new class of high-speed interface devices.
“Since our inception, Inphi has become synonymous with technical excellence. Leading companies rely on our team to deliver best-in-class semiconductor solutions that operate within cloud computing environments and help solve bandwidth, capacity and power issues faced by data centers and 40 Gbps/100 Gbps networks,” said Young Sohn, president and CEO at Inphi.
“Establishing our UK center allows us to capitalize on the area’s enormous cache of talent and knowledge. This move will form the next step in our worldwide growth and augments our leadership in innovative designs, dedication to excellence in product development, and commitment to advancing industry standards.”
“We are pleased to build on our leading market position across the globe with Mike leading the charge. His experience will no doubt help us scale our operations,” added Sohn.
Harwood has 20 years of experience in microelectronics design. Before co-founding HSZ Consulting, a company specializing in microelectronics for high-speed data communications, he was the architect of several generations of Texas Instruments’ Physical Layer Devices and SerDes IP – the last development being a 12.5 Gbps long-reach SerDes on a 65nm process. Harwood was elected a Distinguished Member of Technical Staff at Texas Instruments in 2001 and graduated in Physics from Trinity College, Oxford University.
“I’m excited to join Inphi at this stage of its business. They’ve had a positive track record, strong growth for the last five years, and offer a best-in-class portfolio of products,” said Harwood. “The opening of Inphi UK demonstrates the company’s commitment to becoming a global technology leader, investing in key talent and customers worldwide.”
Headquartered in Westlake Village and Sunnyvale, California, Inphi has drawn a roster of all-star talent to design and develop a series of high-speed analog components for next-generation 40 Gbps and 100 Gbps networks and data centers. Inphi has a broad, diverse product portfolio with more than 150 products for the server and storage, networking and communications infrastructure, and test and measurement markets.
Inphi’s commercial firsts include: first DDR3-1600 Memory Interface Buffer, first Load-Reduced DIMM Isolation Memory Buffer, first 25 GHz Integrated Circuit in Plastic, first 43 Gbps Differential Mach-Zehnder Driver, first 50 Gbps Multiplexer, and first 43 Gbps Transimpedance Amplifier. Inphi customers include more than 200 leading global memory module suppliers, transponder manufacturers, and telecom and test and measurement original equipment manufacturers.
The Inphi UK Design Center, also known as Inphi Ltd, is located at Deanery Court, Grange Farm, Preston Deanery, Northants, NN7 2DT, United Kingdom.
