ON Semiconductor Expands R&D Facilities

ON Semiconductor, driving innovation in energy efficiency, has moved its Limerick Design Center into an expanded and technically upgraded campus. The newly acquired state-of-the-art facilities, located at Limerick's Raheen Business Park, now boast 2,000 square meters of office space and engineering laboratories that are ISO 9001:2010 and ISO 9001:2012 certified.

"The new design center facility is a valuable expansion of ON Semiconductor's research and development (R&D) activities in Europe, as we continue to strive to deliver highly integrated, energy efficient power semiconductor solutions to the market," stated John Blake, director of ON Semiconductor's Limerick Design Center. "The engineering staff here now has ready access to a greater array of sophisticated technical resources than were available at our previous 900 square meter location. We are now better equipped to develop leading-edge products that are differentiated from our competitors' – solutions possessing higher energy efficiency levels and superior performance characteristics."


As part of the company's Power Solutions Products business, the Limerick design center team is responsible for developing power and thermal management integrated circuits (ICs) primarily for use in computing and consumer electronics applications. The local operations house a technically-focused staff consisting of integrated circuit (IC) design engineers, IC layout engineers, application engineers, test engineers, design evaluation engineers and product marketing engineers.
