Siltrontech Selected as Mainland China and Taiwan Distributor for SiliconBlue FPGAs
 
SANTA CLARA, California, May 25, 2009 - SiliconBlue® Technologies, the leading supplier of ultra-low power, single-chip SRAM FPGAs, today announced that Siltrontech Electronics Corporation has been selected as a distributor for mainland China and Taiwan. Established in 1992, Siltrontech will provide sales and technical support for SiliconBlue’s ultra-low power, single-chip iCE65™ mobileFPGAs™ targeted at the rapidly-growing consumer handheld market.

“Siltrontech’s experience selling and supporting products for the mobile communications market is a great benefit to SiliconBlue as we expand our sales force in mainland China and Taiwan,” said Kapil Shankar, CEO of SiliconBlue. “We are delighted to have a world class distributor selling and supporting our ultra-low power FPGAs in such an important market.”

“SiliconBlue offers the most innovative FPGAs perfectly suited to our customer’s requirements,” said Tony Chou, President at Siltrontech. “The iCE65 FPGA is an excellent addition to our product line, and provides an exciting new alternative to consumer hand-held designers who need the benefits of ultra-low power, single-chip, low-cost, constrained space and fast time-to-market for applications such as mobile phones, MIDs, eBooks, netbooks and digital picture frames.”
 
About the iCE65 Family
iCE65 ultra-low power FPGAs are the premier programmable logic solution for consumer, battery-based applications such as smart phones, eBooks/ePaper, netbooks, digital picture frames, mobile internet devices, portable media players, handheld POS, medical instruments, digital still cameras and flash camcorders. These applications have an extremely short development and product life cycle; therefore, by combining the reprogramming flexibility benefit of FPGAs with the low cost, low power and single-chip benefits of ASICs, iCE65 FPGAs offer the “best of both worlds” solution for handheld consumer system designers.
