Future Electronics And ADD Semiconductor Sign Distribution Agreement
Future Electronics and power-line communication (PLC) IC company ADD Semiconductor have signed an agreement for the distribution of ADD Semiconductor’s PLC systems-on-a-chip (SoCs) in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa as well as in the Asia-Pacific region. ADD Semiconductor specializes in the design of SoC solutions for narrow-band communications using the low-voltage electric grid. Its PLC design solution combines an 8-bit microcontroller with media access controller (MAC) circuitry and a digital PLC modem in a SoC, supported by software libraries, reference designs, development tools, and, for those customers implementing the PRIME architecture, an upper layer stack. Equipment from ADD Semiconductor has passed the certification process defined by the PRIME Alliance Certification Task Group, and its products are certified as entirely compliant with PRIME specifications.
