Neo-Iso™ enables HVAC and home automation systems to reduce form
factor, increase reliability and reduce cost
Home Automation Market expected to reach $16.4 billion by 2019,
growing at a CAGR of 24.6% from 2014 to 2019
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. & RICHARDSON, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 2, 2014--
TowerJazz,
the global specialty foundry leader, and Triune
Systems LLC, a mixed signal and power management IC provider, today
announced that Triune has developed a proprietary isolated power and
data technology using the TowerJazz TS18PM process on its state of the
art 0.18um based power management platform. This innovative technology
is showcased in Triune’s Neo-Iso™ products, two isolated load switches
currently ramping to volume production; TS13001 and TS13101. According
to a report published by Transparency Market Research, the home
automation market is expected to reach $16.4 billion by 2019, growing at
a CAGR of 24.6% from 2014 to 2019.
Triune’s TS13001 and TS13101 are galvanically isolated load switches
that replace mechanical relays in HVAC, home automation, and industrial
control systems. The products are low-profile switches with low Rdson,
have current limit and fault protection circuitry, and are easily
controlled through a simple microcontroller interface. The level of
galvanic isolation can be scaled from 100V to 10kV, based on the needs
of the system. Device options include both a non-latching TS13001 and
latching TS13101 device for replacing most relay applications. These
products enable next generation home automation systems that are thin,
compact, portable and reliable.
“We developed this unique and innovative isolated technology with
TowerJazz because they offered the best process for our needs,” said
Ross Teggatz, President of Triune Systems. “Our Neo-Iso™ technology
further leverages TowerJazz’s processes to provide truly unique
solutions that can drive exciting and differentiated home automation
applications, and we look forward to developing several new products
based on this technology.”
"Triune has been a strong partner and we are excited to see innovative
products such as the Neo-Iso™ isolated load switches introduced on our
power management platform," said Dr. Marco Racanelli, Senior Vice
President of Power Business Group, TowerJazz. “Working with customers
like Triune that push performance and innovation boundaries is what
helps us bring to market best-in-class process technology. Our latest
0.18um power management platform combines some of the industry's lowest
on-resistance high voltage devices, with 0.18um digital capability and
non-volatile memory, serving the consumer, industrial, and automotive
markets."
