Nanotech Semiconductor Joins MOST® Cooperation
|
| |
Bristol, England, March 12th 2007 – Nanotech Semiconductor Limited (“Nanotech”), a fabless IC company specializing in advanced Analogue & Mixed-Signal ICs for Communications applications, today announced it has joined the MOST® Cooperation.
The MOST (Media Oriented Systems Transport) standard defines a networking infrastructure, based on plastic optical fiber (POF), which connects devices providing infotainment, communication and navigation functionality inside a vehicle. It has been adopted by nearly all European-based carmakers, and more recently by large Asian manufacturers. Over 10 million MOST nodes ship per year, and this number continues to grow. As such, it is one of the largest individual markets for Physical Media Dependent (PMD) ICs worldwide.

Nanotech introduced the NT21010 MOST25 receiver and the NT2103x MOST transmitter for use in MOST® applications in 2005/6. Being designed on standard CMOS and with small die sizes we are able to offer the lowest chipset prices, yet provide market leading performance, especially on Receiver sensitivity and therefore link budgets.
The MOST Cooperation has recently begun to work on new, faster standards, supporting innovative future applications.
Gary Steele, CEO, commented: “I think we can safely say we have shown world leadership in the PMD area, and now that the MOST consortium are working on new, faster, standards customers wanted us to join the working groups in order to help steer these new developments.”
Steve Cliffe, VP Sales & Marketing added: “With the availability of our MOST25 chipset we have shown our technical and commercial leadership. We are looking forward to being at the forefront of upcoming new developments in future MOST networks” |
