Commenting on the appointment, Focus EDL’s Managing Director Geoff Philpot said, “Adding Chiplus to our line up will increase our ability to provide customers with an exact solution for their application. Specialist memory manufacturers like Chiplus seem to be more capable of producing devices that really do combine very high speed with very low power consumption and these are features very much in demand by customers working to develop portable products. With our tech support capability and the extent of the Chiplus offering, we look forward to helping our customers make the most of these exciting products.”
