board of EE Times, which pays tribute to semiconductor industry pioneers
for their significant accomplishments over the course of their careers.
The ACE (Annual Creativity in Electronics) Award honors Mr. Stata for
his contributions to technology innovation in the electronics industry
and his more than 50 years of corporate leadership. Mr. Stata received
the award on April 15 at the ACE Awards Gala, which was held in
conjunction with this year’s Embedded Systems
Conference, Silicon Valley.

Stata with a Lifetime Achievement Award,” said

LLC, which publishes EE Times. “His
entrepreneurial spirit and tireless dedication to self-reinvention
serves as an inspiration for future generations of technology pioneers.”
Ray Stata co-founded Analog Devices in 1965, initially to provide
standard product operational amplifiers that customers could buy as
components instead of designing and manufacturing their own. The vision
for the company was later expanded to include data converters, digital
signal processors and other linear and mixed signal integrated circuits
to enable a broad range of real world signal processing applications.
“I am honored to receive a Lifetime
Achievement Award from EE Times,” said Ray
Stata. “This award reflects the dedication and
talent of the employees at ADI, who have shared in my passion for
innovation and creativity in the global technology industry.”
Ray Stata's ability to stay ahead of the technology curve has helped
guide ADI to continuously provide innovative products that enable
customers to achieve competitive advantage. Mr. Stata served as CEO of
the company from 1971 to 1996. He has been chairman of the board since
1973 and continues to serve in this capacity.
"Ray has been at the cutting edge of innovation for over 50 years," said
Jerry Fishman, president and CEO of Analog Devices. "His vision in
founding ADI was to solve our customers’ most
difficult signal processing challenges by hiring the most talented
people, and allowing innovation to drive the process. The enduring
insightfulness of this vision has transcended more than four decades and
continues to define Analog Devices.”
Ray Stata graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
with a BSEE and MSEE and is now chairman of the Visiting Committee of
the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. He also
serves on the executive committee of MIT’s
Board of Trustees.
Throughout his career in the technology industry, Ray Stata has been the
recipient of numerous awards, including the SIA Founders Award, the IEEE
Founders Medal, and a 2004 Lifetime Achievement Award from the
