Since the company's founding in 1993 as a joint venture between ST Microelectronics and Cadence Design Systems, Accent has evolved from being a design services provider, with differentiated capabilities in such areas as precision analog and embedded design, to a turnkey silicon solution provider. During this time, Accent has established a stellar track record of more than 300 successful designs and tens of millions of semiconductor parts manufactured for clients to date. A key factor to the company's success has been focused technology investments and the pre-integration of these technologies into SoC platform products, which significantly reduces customers development costs and provides a low-risk, fast time-to-market.
With the introduction of ASMgrid, Accent is taking a logical next step in its growth as the company focuses its future direction on meeting the needs of the rapidly emerging Clean Tech industry. At the forefront of this technology revolution has been the introduction of Smart Meters, which will usher in a new class of energy efficiency enabling the world to preserve natural resources and reduce CO2 emissions. As the Smart Grid infrastructure is put in place, a wave of technology innovation will also sweep the home, introducing smart appliances that will enable consumers the necessary tools to reduce their carbon footprint. The opportunity is unprecedented as not only as businesses and consumers stand to benefit but the planet as well.
