Fremont, Calif. (PRWEB) June 5, 2006 -- PhaseLink Corporation, a fabless semiconductor IC company specializing in high performance frequency timing generation solutions for digital consumer, communication, and storage products markets, today announced that Intel Capital, Intel Corporation’s venture investment organization, has invested in the company for an undisclosed amount.

Cadol Cheung, Managing Director, Intel Capital Asia Pacific, stated: “By this investment Intel hopes to enable PhaseLink to bring new and innovative technologies to market.”

PhaseLink is expected to use the funding to expand its market segment share in Timing Source ICs by accelerating technology development, strengthening its intellectual property portfolio, expanding its sales organization, and enhancing customer support services.

“This investment will better position us to meet the needs of our customers by delivering innovative, quality, reliable products. This is an approach built into everything we do”, said D.C. Chang, CEO of PhaseLink Corporation.

PhaseLink has been a key contributor to the Frequency Generation and Synthesis markets, with many ‘First to Market’ products. Analog Frequency Multipiler, PhasorV, QTC (world’s smallest and lowest power programmable clocks), Triangular Modulation EMI Reduction Clocks, etc., are just some of the broad product line offered by PhaseLink.

High performance systems have stringent performance requirements on clock sources. Monolithic clock synthesizer chips from PhaseLink, by virtue of their ability to synthesize multiple frequencies with very high accuracy and multiple simultaneous outputs, can provide excellent solutions for these systems, while minimizing the costly inventory of crystal and crystal oscillators.
