Viper RF joins WIN Alliance Program
WIN Semiconductors Corp of Taoyuan City, Taiwan — which provides pure-play gallium arsenide (GaAs) and gallium nitride (GaN) wafer foundry services for the wireless, infrastructure and networking markets — has announced the inclusion of microwave & millimeter-wave product firm Viper RF of Newton Aycliffe, UK in its WIN Alliance Program.
Founded in 2008, Viper RF has evolved from a design consultancy into a supplier of GaAs and GaN MMICs as standard MMIC products and custom designs for demanding commercial, defense and space markets. The collaboration will therefore provide WIN customers with trusted, custom design services, including MMIC designs operating at 1–150GHz.
The partnership satisfies WIN customer requests for a trusted design partner well-versed in WIN’s innovative technology. This alliance ensures that customers have access to the design solutions they need to optimize performance and maximize their product portfolios.
“Viper RF is pleased to be invited to be part of the WIN Alliance. We have worked with WIN Semiconductors for more than 15 years and have used a full range of their GaN and GaAs technologies in space, defense and telecommunications applications,” notes Viper RF’s CEO Jim Mayock. “WIN’s technologies offer world-class performance and cost-effective solutions for our clients. We look forward to working more closely with WIN to support their clients and accelerate our own product developments and R&D activities.”
“The expertise of the Viper RF team and their experience with a broad array of WIN’s leading technologies enable customers to quickly and efficiently develop high-performing products and introduce them to the market,” says WIN’s VP of business development Russ Wagner. “This ensures even customers with limited design resources can take full advantage of WIN’s pure-play foundry model.” The partnership offers design support for customers seeking trusted custom design solutions from an experienced partner like Viper RF.
