Wolfson Microelectronics has won GBP 450,000 funding under the SPURplus programme organised by the Scottish Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Department

The award will enable Wolfson to create next generation audio components that integrate analogue amplifiers onto a single chip alongside digital signal processing and digital-to-analogue convertor functions. The SPURplus funding will be spread over the 2 year programme, and will cover up to 35% of the total programme cost.

"This award is very important to Wolfson, extending our research and development activities into these new exciting areas.

This funding will allow us to build on our established competencies in the audio field and thereby strengthen Scotland's position as a centre of high technology enterprise", said Julian Hayes, VP marketing at Wolfson Microelectronics.

"We successfully completed a SPUR project in 1998 worth GBP 70,000 and I am very pleased that the Scottish Enterprise and Lifelong Learning Department has again considered us to be a worthy recipient".

SPURplus supports Scottish businesses undertaking innovative research and development programmes that involve significant technical risk.

Wolfson also won research funding from the SMART programme in 1990, 1991 and 1997.
