[By NBC-1TV H. J Yook]SuVolta, Inc., a developer of scalable semiconductor technologies for low-power, high-performance IC chips, today announced the appointment of Dr. Louis Parrillo as the company's Chief Operating Officer (COO).

As COO, Dr. Parrillo will oversee technology and circuit design programs and resources, working on solutions with leading logic and memory manufacturers, and with fabless semiconductor companies. A renowned semiconductor veteran, Dr. Parrillo has a proven track record in implementing and obtaining results on complex programs both in large companies and start-ups.

“Lou is a valued addition to our executive team to help proliferate our proven silicon-gate transistor technology into broad logic and memory manufacturing,” said Bruce McWilliams, president and CEO of SuVolta. “In addition, Lou's experience in developing and commercializing technology is a critical asset as our advanced-node metal-gate 28nm and 20nm programs go into production -- especially as our manufacturer partner list grows beyond our half-dozen active development partnerships.”

In December 2012, SuVolta announced silicon results that demonstrate the performance and power advantages of its Deeply Depleted Channel™ (DDC) transistor technology. SuVolta's approach based on planar, bulk CMOS enables semiconductor vendors and foundries to continue utilizing their existing design and IP flows without significant retooling or redesign costs.

“Whether semiconductor companies are designing applications processors, DRAM, MCUs, image sensors or a variety of other chips, power optimization is key,” said Lou Parrillo, COO at SuVolta. “By advancing technology integration efforts with SuVolta‘s partners, we are solving the industry’s greatest challenge -- power, affecting the future of semiconductors and mobile computing.”
