Notes to Editors:
About Cyan Technology
Cyan Holdings plc is a fabless semiconductor company which specialises in the design, sale and support of a range of 16-bit and 32-bit general-purpose low power, high performance microcontroller chips ("MCUs"). These chips are integral components used in nearly all electronic products, ranging from mobile phones and washing machines to toys, televisions and motorcars. Consumer entertainment markets require more powerful processors and are usually based on 32-bit chips which Cyan is developing to serve this market segment. Cyan operates in a $14 billion worldwide market for microcontrollers, which is poised to grow to $20 billion by 2010. Cyan has identified Europe and South East Asia as the largest markets for its products, and as such aims to have 1% of the microcontroller market within 5 years.
Originally Cyan was a spin out from Cambridge Consultants Limited to use its 16-bit core, the same core used in CSR's Bluetooth chips. Since Cyan was founded in 2002, it has achieved 100 design wins for its initial eCOG1®k product and is expanding the range of the patent-protected eCOG1® family and introducing a new range of 32 bit microcontrollers.
Cyan has introduced design integration support software, CyanIDE®, to support the Company's entire range of current and future microcontrollers. The software makes chip integration into customers' products vastly more simple, quick, reliable and hence less expensive while dramatically reducing development time. Cyan created CyanIDE® to avoid relying on standard tools from third party suppliers.
The company is headquartered in Cambridge, UK and o pened a sales and technical support office in Hong Kong in May 2005 which services the Chinese market. Cyan employs 32 people.
CyanIDE and eCOG are registered trade marks of Cyan Holdings plc.
