ScaleVP identified a fundamental need in consumer electronics for efficient power utilization and management, to enable longer battery life, lower cost, and differentiated product design. Several of our most successful components investments, including Monolithic Power Systems, Enpirion and Cygnal combine these benefits in new ways to address emerging needs.
MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) have enabled breakthroughs for other ScaleVP companies, including efficient and precise timing at Discera, tiny autofocus mechanisms at Siimpel, and a wealth of innovative solutions at IMT. As MEMS technology matures, we expect it to combine with both analog and mixed signal chips to deliver new value at scale.
