White LED driver for low-voltage applications
Catalyst Semiconductor has expanded its family of white LED products with the introduction of an inductor-based white LED driver boost convertor.
The company will focus on developing "institutional relationships" on behalf of Cswitch in key European OEM/CDM accounts.
Uniquely, Silicon Design will also provide efficient and cost-effective methods for customers to source prototype and production quantities of Cswitch products.
Announcing the deal with Silicon Design Ed McKernan, cofounder of Cswitch and VP of Business Development, remarked on Spectrum's extensive European infrastructure, which provides Silicon Design with access to 11 regional offices throughout Europe, and Tier 1 customers in 25 countries: "Since its foundation in the UK in 1994, Spectrum has grown into Europe's leading independent, international sales, marketing and operations (ISMO) company in the field of advanced technology electronic components".
"I'm confident that Silicon Design has both the ability and the energy to fulfil Cswitch's ambitious growth targets in Europe", said McKernan.
Welcoming the Cswitch/Silicon Design agreement, Spectrum MD Nigel Watts, said that Cswitch has successfully narrowed the performance and density gap between FPGAs and ASICs: "Cswitch worked very closely with many of the world's leading system manufacturers to develop its Configurable Switch Array architecture".
"The device combines ASIC performance - bandwidths of up to 100Gbit/s - with the development cost and time to market advantages of an FPGA, truly the best of both worlds", Watts said.
