Andigilog Completes Series A Financing.TEMPE, Ariz. -- Provider of Thermal Management Solutions to Use Funds for Product and Market Development in Growing Notebook PC, Cellular and Consumer Markets Andigilog, a fabless analog and mixed-signal semiconductor company that provides thermal management solutions for the cellular handset, personal computing Refers to users working on their own computers rather than a terminal to a mainframe. Sometimes, the term refers to using computers at home for work and/or entertainment in contrast to business use only. See personal computer. , communications and consumer markets, announced that it has received additional funds totaling $6.2 million from outside investors to complete its Series A financing. The final investments in the Series A were led by Valley Ventures, Mission Ventures and Palisades Palisades, cliffs along the west bank of the Hudson River, NE N.J. and SE N.Y., extending from N of Jersey City, N.J., to the vicinity of Piermont, N.Y., with a general altitude of from 350 ft to 550 ft (107–168 m). Ventures. Andigilog intends to use the funds to market its existing products and to further expand and develop its product line. This financing brings the total Series A funds raised to $11.0 million. "This investment by Valley, Mission, Palisades, and other investors, in addition to previous venture capital investments by Valley and Mission, represents continued validation of our business model of providing highly efficient and effective thermal management solutions for the rapidly growing notebook PC, cellular handset and consumer market segments," said Bill Sheppard, Andigilog president and chief executive officer. Michael Banks of Palisades Ventures will join Robert Kibble kibble baked dough that is crushed or cracked. Prepared usually by extruding and then heating-drying the dough.

"Palisades Ventures believes this company's unique intellectual property in the emerging area of thermal management and its management's track record create a very high potential for success in the $2 billion plus market segment for sensors and thermal control products," said Banks. Andigilog has developed a family of analog and digital temperature sensing products with very high accuracy, which is critical in sensitive notebook PC, handset and other applications. The company also is developing new products for improved thermal management for systems facing heat issues caused by increasing processor speeds and smaller sizes.
