Avnet ASIC Israel Selected as a MIPS Technologies Approved Design Center1 November 2005
MIPS Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: MIPS), a leading provider of industry-standard processor architectures and cores for digital consumer and business applications, today announced the selection of Avnet ASIC Israel, Ltd. (AAI -- http://www.avnet-asic.com), as a MIPS Technologies Approved Design Center.
AAI is a subsidiary of Avnet, Inc., one of the world's largest distributors of semiconductors, electromechanical components, enterprise network and computer equipment, embedded subsystems and design services. AAI has already worked on a variety of complex SoC designs for MIPS Technologies licensees worldwide. Adimos, a leading provider of wireless multimedia connectivity solutions for consumer appliances, used the MIPS32(R) 4KEp(TM) core in the company's Wireless Video Module(TM) (WVM) design, enabling high quality multimedia transmissions over a wireless channel between any multimedia source (DVD, VCR, Set-Top Box and Media Servers) and a multimedia display (Plasma TV, LCD TV, home projectors or projection TV).
BroadLight licensed the MIPS32 4KEc(R) processor core for use in its BL2000 GPON (Gigabit Passive Optical Network) and BPON (Broadband Passive Optical Network) SoCs. By incorporating the 4KEc core, BroadLight was able to significantly reduce development cost and speed time to market with the industry's first complete end-to-end GPON solution. "Our services allow semiconductor companies and OEMs to better manage their engineering resources, get to market faster and keep costs down," said Nadav Ben-Ezer, Managing Director, AAI. "We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with MIPS Technologies and its customers." "AAI combines deep industry knowledge with a proven track record for helping our customers take their designs from concept to market quickly and cost-effectively," said Jack Browne, vice president of marketing, MIPS Technologies. "We are pleased to welcome AAI as Israel's first MIPS Approved Design Center, and look forward to collaborating on many more leading-edge designs."
