        ON Semiconductor Corporation recently announced the opening of a new R&D center in Bucharest, Romania, to further enhance ON's global design capabilities. The R&D center will focus on developing high-temperature resistant and durable products for automotive isolated drives and high-precision devices for intelligent sensing to further respond to automotive and industrial development trends and fill market needs.
 
 
        The opening of the new R&D center in Romania not only further enhances ON Semiconductor's chip design capabilities and in-house engineering solutions capabilities, but also provides strong assurance of its chip supply to the global market. The new R&D center covers the entire spectrum of new product development, including IC design, layout, test development, applications, technology development, project management and product marketing.
        Brian Pickard, vice president of ON Semiconductor's Power Solutions Division, said, "Closing the loop on the entire development cycle in one R&D center fosters closer collaboration across internal segments, thereby accelerating the process from innovative idea and development to delivery to the customer."
        With the increasing popularity of electric vehicles and the accelerated development and evolution of advanced driver assistance systems ("ADAS") and autonomous driving technologies, the global market is experiencing an explosion in demand for high-performance isolated drives and intelligent sensing. Isolated drive is a key part of the automotive electrical system, and the upgrade of its technology is essential to improve system energy efficiency, performance and reliability. At the same time, intelligent sensing can provide a more advanced level of safety and enable higher levels of autonomous driving as vehicles move toward intelligence. Intelligent sensing also empowers Industry 4.0 for robotics, scanning and inspection to enable smarter factories. ON Semiconductor has years of industry experience and leading technology capabilities in the high-growth automotive functional electronics/electric vehicles, ADAS, autonomous driving and industrial machine vision, and is driving technology iteration by continuously strengthening its global presence and attracting top talent to enhance its innovation capabilities.
