Silego pioneered the development of Configurable Mixed-signal
ICs (CMICs), using nonvolatile memory to configure and integrate
analog, digital logic and power functions, enabling design
engineers to reduce power, cost, size and time to market. Since the
introduction of the CMIC technology, Silego has developed five
generations of CMIC silicon and design tools and sold over 2.7
billion units.
“The phenomenal demand for devices like smartphones, tablets,
wearables and IoT-enabled solutions has compounded designers’
long-standing mandate for ‘smaller, faster, cheaper,’” said Lynn
Torrel, senior vice president, semiconductor business development
worldwide for Avnet. “Silego’s unique CMIC GreenPAK™ platform and
Integrated Power Switch (IPS) portfolio provide designers with new
levels of configurability, power and performance that can
significantly accelerate and optimize the development of truly
differentiated devices and systems. We appreciate the trust Silego
has demonstrated in Avnet with this exclusive agreement and are
looking forward to a long and prosperous collaboration.”
“Silego not only created the world’s first family of
Configurable Mixed-signal ICs, but also enabled a paradigm shift
for designers,” said John Teegen, chief executive officer, Silego.
“This global and exclusive agreement enables us to leverage Avnet’s
formidable field application engineering and prototyping resources
to bring these benefits to many more customers.”
Commenting on the new agreement, Semico Research Principal
Analyst for ASIC and SoC Rich Wawrzyniak, who had previously
described Silego as “one of the best kept secrets in Silicon
Valley,” remarked, “A global partnership with Avnet will certainly
take away any secrecy about Silego and will provide the many
benefits of Configurable Mixed-signal ICs to the market at
large.”
