The strategic combination of Powervation's Intelligent Digital Power™ platform with analog power technology and global access to ROHM's core market will enable the company to address a wide range of rapid market growth opportunities as customers increasingly adopt digital power solutions to power the next generation of high-density and CI systems such as processors, memories, FPGAs, and ASICs.
This acquisition will also enable ROHM to develop advanced digital power solutions for a wider variety of markets and applications with Powervation's flexible command platform.
According to market research reports, digital power continues to progressively displace analog technology in the $11 billion global power management IC market, driven by performance and energy efficiency advantages.
Powervation will become a wholly owned subsidiary of ROHM, with its main design center in Cork, Ireland, and its systems application centers in San Jose, CA, and Asia, combining expertise in power systems, digital control, silicon, and embedded software. ROHM plans to accelerate product development through investment and synergies.
