Premier Farnell signs global franchise with multicore chip designer XMOS
The xCORE technology is a range of flexible, easy-to-use multicore microcontrollers with deterministic response and an extremely broad applicability in terms of size of customer, complexity of design and market sectors including audio, automotive, industrial and consumer.
Premier Farnell’s extensive multi-channel marketing capabilities will be leveraged to promote XMOS’s differentiating technology, extending and reinforcing an enhanced product offering to the design engineering community globally.
xCORE is XMOS’s proprietary microcontroller architecture, providing hardware-type response while being software-programmable like a standard micro. It is very easy to use with a full suite of free design tools that allows anyone who understands C programming access to a completely new level of performance and responsiveness.
Because of this responsiveness, xCORE is also able to implement many functions using software that would require hardware in other architectures, for example a software-based Ethernet or USB interface. These free of charge software peripherals allow customers to configure their own custom microcontrollers in software.
“We are delighted to partner with such a well – established distributor to extend our customer reach globally and to bring our exciting new technology to a really broad market,” said Mike Furnival, VP Sales & Marketing at XMOS.
“This agreement reaffirms our belief in the xCORE technology and we are confident this will be the start of a highly successful new strategic business relationship with this young, agile and innovative start-up,” said Marianne Culver, Chief Global Supply Chain & Supplier Management at Premier Farnell.
