National Semiconductor has acquired Xignal
Technologies
Xignal Technologies, an Analog to Digital
Converter specialized company will be acquired by National
Semiconductor. Xignal develops continuous-time delta sigma
analog-to-digital converters. The continuous delta sigma converters
are highly preferred over pipeline architecture. They convert
signals at megahertz speed at high resolutions. Continuous
time architecture also helps to integrate on board clocks,
low noise amplifiers and external filters.
The market is very much looking for high
resolution, low power, multi-featured analog front-end chip
at low cost, where a signal from sensor can be directly plugged
in. This merger may help National to bring these products
faster to the market.
