Silica Core 'n More programme boosts support for microcontroller customers
SILICA today announced the launch of a major growth programme called Core 'n More, which provides a focus for the company's comprehensive portfolio of microcontroller solutions, tools, software support and design-in services.
CoreOn a strategic level, the Core 'n More programme benefits from SILICA's strong relationships with the world's largest Microcontroller vendors. SILICA holds distribution agreements for ARM based silicon from leading suppliers such as Texas Instruments, NXP, Freescale, STMicroelectronics and Cypress. The Core 'n More portfolio is completed from suppliers offering alternative cores such as Microchip and Renesas or Intel for high-end embedded applications.
MCU customers will benefit from a European team of software specialists with expertise in Linux and other relevant embedded operating systems. The company is the largest Microsoft Windows Embedded distributor in Europe, and the programme further develops thousands of successful projects supported by SILICA.
The Core 'n More initiative builds on extended services including sales and engineering support from an extensive network of factory trained and certified Field Applications Engineers. Silica also partners with companies who provide modules and engineering support for development systems, including Compilers, Debuggers, Simulators, Emulators and Development Boards.
Karlheinz Weigl, regional vice president Central Europe, and Silica's executive sponsor of the programme adds, In past years we have proven our ability to deliver in-depth technical support primarily for programmable logic designs and in the analogue world. We are now taking this further to provide the most solution-oriented support for Microcontroller designs from any distributor in Europe.
