Adiabatic Logic, Cambridge Technology Consultants and XJTAG become part of the Cambridge Technology Group
CAMBRIDGE, England, June 17, 2003
– Cambridge-based technical design consultancy, OptionExist, has become Cambridge Technology Consultants, part of the Cambridge Technology Group (www.cambridgetechgroup.com)."The new name and company structure provides us with the flexibility to develop our ten-year-old successful consultancy business and nurture the spin-off companies – notably Adiabatic Logic and XJTAG - which have spawned from OptionExist in recent years," said Simon Rayne, chief technology officer of the Cambridge Technology Group.
The three wholly owned subsidiaries in the Cambridge Technology Group are Adiabatic Logic Limited, Cambridge Technology Consultants Limited and XJTAG Limited. All the companies are currently based in the U.K. at The Irwin Centre, Dry Drayton, Cambridge.
Adiabatic Logic (www.adiabaticlogic.com) was set up to exploit a portfolio of secured patents in the low power technology arena. Adiabatic Logic's patented Intelligent Output Driver (IOD), launched in May 2003, delivers significant (up to 75%) power savings in chip I/O for portable devices such as laptop computers, personal digital assistants (PDAs), MP3 players and smartphones. Geoff Harvey is chief technology officer.
Cambridge Technology Consultants (www.camtechconsultants.com) offers its clients – companies such as ARM, AT&T, BOC Edwards, Celoxica, Co-operative Group, Fujitsu, Marconi, Mitsubishi Electric and IPWireless – a broad range of services from high-end applications to innovative product development and technical consultancy skills. For ten years, its multi disciplinary team of hardware and software engineers have provided cost-effective solutions from concept through to pre-production. Stephen Love is chief technology officer.
XJTAG (www.xjtag.com) was set up to develop and market a new and integrated suite of tools for the boundary scan market. Its JTAG (Joint Test Action Group) test tools offer a low-cost solution for designers and developers of electronic circuits. Using XJTAG allows circuit development and prototyping to be shortened significantly by facilitating early test development, early design validation, fast development of functional tests and test re-use across circuits that utilise the same devices. Dominic Plunkett is chief technology officer.
"These are exciting times for our Group," added Rayne, "as we have achieved part of our long term strategy of leveraging the creative talents of our core design team within Cambridge Technology Consultants to build a more diversified group of companies operating across different market sectors."
