Earth Day is annually celebrated on April 22 to support and raise awareness of various environmental activities. It was established in 1970, a time when many felt that being a responsible company meant forfeiting profits. This is where Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) comes to play. In reality, CSR initiatives rely on profitability like any other part of the organization. The more successful our company is, the greater our capacity to "do good"; the more opportunities we have to expand our reach and amplify our commitments and actions.

Doing more good in the communities where we live and work, allows our company to develop our influence and boost credibility. This type of business environment fosters innovation, bringing value to all stakeholders. Not only do we seek to give back to our communities, but we are proud to provide industry-leading, energy-efficient, sustainable semiconductor-based solutions and technologies in various industries.

Why should you convert your design from a field programmable gate array (FPGA) to an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC)?

Well, there are many reasons to take an FPGA design and convert it to an ASIC solution. An ASIC can provide lower cost, lower power, smaller size and increased security compared to an FPGA. In addition, an ASIC from ON Semiconductor provides increased longevity and security in the supply chain with ON Semiconductor factories. Continue reading our blog to learn about the other benefits of converting your FPGAs to an ASIC today!

Solar power is rapidly becoming a crucial piece of the electricity puzzle.  Most people are familiar by now with the incredible 82 percent decline in costs for solar-generated power over the last 10 years.  But many innovations in solar siting (where solar is located) and co-land use (what else the location is used for) are increasing the economic case for solar power.  The most obvious location is on top of a building.  Many retailers and warehouses with large, flat roofs add solar panels as an economic decision.
