SAN JOSE, Calif. & BIEL, Switzerland--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--[ Zilog ], Inc. a wholly owned subsidiary of IXYS Corporation (NASDAQ:IXYS) and a trusted supplier of application-specific, embedded microcontroller (MCU) system-on-chip (SoC) solutions for industrial and consumer power management applications, today announced that one of its customers using Zilog MCU architectures for energy savings received one of the highest aRoyala awards in the UK.
"Zilog is receiving strong industry support for its energy management technologies and products"
The customer, West Energy Saving Technologies Ltd., features the Zilog Z86E02 MCU in its aVentmiser CMSMa product that is the recipient of the prestigious Queena™s Award for Enterprise Innovation. The aVentmisera offers precise methods of energy management control by sensing the usage of moisture-producing appliances such as cookers, baths and showers. West Energy Saving Technologies is a market leader in the manufacture and supply of innovative eco-friendly controls for domestic ventilation fans and systems, whole house ventilation and student accommodation ventilation.

aZilog is receiving strong industry support for its energy management technologies and products,a said Darin Billerbeck, president of Zilog. aZiloga™s energy management technologies are focused on lighting, solar, motion sensing and control and wireless communication, with several new products featuring unique embedded software in their microcontroller product families.a
In the aVentmisera, Ziloga™s Z86E02 microcontroller gathers data from temperature and electromagnetic sensors. The sensors determine usage of hot water in a bathroom or kitchen, and the electromagnetic sensor analyzes for electronic stove use. Ziloga™s Z86E02 microcontroller will activate a fan to vent the room of the water vapor, heat or fumes from cooking food, and the simple design is effective in helping remove odor, mold-producing moisture and heat.
