Atmel Licenses Industry-Leading Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer Core From National Semiconductor to Power Its Next-Generation of High Performance System-on-Chip

San Jose, California (ots/PRNewswire)

- Powering up the Next Generation of High Performance and Highly
Integrated System-on-Chip
Atmel(R) Corporation (Nasdaq: ATML), a global leader in the
development and fabrication of advanced semiconductor solutions,
announced today the completion of a licensing agreement with National
Semiconductor Corporation for a Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer Core.
National's Gigabit Ethernet Physical Layer Core will be used by Atmel
to design next generation server connectivity products and highly
integrated System-on-Chip products, enabling Atmel's customers to be
the first to market the next generation of network connectivity
products.
As a leader in the design and manufacture of storage and broadband
communication solutions, Atmel is committed to deliver to its
customers a higher performance solution at a lower cost for the next
generation of switches for network connectivity. This agreement will
leverage National's years of experience in analog design for the
communication market and its field proven architecture that delivers
gigabit per second performance, and Atmel's existing superior High
Performance Low Cost (HPLC) architecture switch technology. Atmel's
Network Storage Products Business Unit will introduce a new
generation product family that enables customers an easy migration to
highly integrated System-on-Chip solutions.
The licensing agreement will enable Atmel to embed the high
performance analog functionality of National's Single Port Gigabit
Ethernet PHY Core with its Ethernet MACs, network processors and
transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) offload
engines for a new line of products. "The relationship between Atmel
and National Semiconductor is a strategic milestone toward
revolutionizing the networking industry. National Semiconductor is a
technology leader in the development of analog physical layer
devices, and Atmel is a leader in storage and broadband
communications solutions. Atmel's upcoming server connectivity
products will integrate National's Gigabit Ethernet PHY to deliver
the highest level of performance availability and reliability with
the lowest power consumption," said Mehdi Bathaee, General Manager
and Managing Director of Atmel's Network-Storage Business Unit.
"National Semiconductor's experience with analog building blocks
and Ethernet will enable Atmel to produce a high-performance and
highly integrated solution that reduces power consumption and system
costs for their customers," said Mike Noonen, Vice President of
National Semiconductor's Communications and Computing Group. "Atmel's
customers will benefit with robust solutions that will provide a
smooth and easy path to upgrading their high-speed Ethernet
applications," he added.
