Maxim Integrated Wins “Design Team of the Year” at 2013 ACE Awards High-resolution image (TIF.ZIP) SAN JOSE, CA—April 24, 2013—UBM Tech, publisher of EE Times and EDN, presented Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. (NASDAQ:MXIM) with the 2013 Annual Creativity in Electronics (ACE) Award for “Design Team of the Year.” Nominees were evaluated by a distinguished judging panel comprised of experts from industry and academia. Maxim Integrated’s winning design team created the MAX2173, the first RF-to-Bits digital audio broadcast (DAB) tuner on the market, and overcame several tough challenges in the process. The team itself was the sum of multiple discrete groups and individuals located at design centers around the globe. Time zones, languages, and different features all made design collaboration a daily challenge. The final cutting-edge RF product meets demanding, automotive-grade quality standards and fits into a small IC package. “The Tao of Design should state officially somewhere that the smaller and easier-to-use an IC, the bigger and more complex the thought and energy are that went into its design. Such was the case with the MAX2173 direct-conversion digital audio broadcast (DAB) tuner, and the energy, skill, and design expertise of the 21-member design team that brought it to life,” said Patrick Mannion, Editorial Director of UBM Tech Electronics.
