Mcci

The Microelectronics Circuit Centre Ireland (MCCI) is an EI/IDA funded Technology Centre focused on carrying out microelectronics circuits research for the benefit of the industry. The MCCI vision is to be the number one industry-led analogue, mixed signal circuits research centre in the world by 2020. After being set up in 2010, MCCI is already creating impact with 5 commercial IP licences to Irish based companies and over 50% of staff from completed projects transferring into industry. MCCI member companies have announced over 1000 new jobs in the last 3 years, 120 of which have been linked directly to MCCI. MCCI has 14 projects researching microelectronic circuits for diverse applications. They include the world’s first single-chip radiometer for early cancer detection, a power management project to reduce the energy consumption in large datacentres, a project aiming to beat the speed record for optical broadband transceivers, a project applying microelectronics to smart testing of food and multiple
