Happy 2nd Birthday SiliconGate

Time flies at SiliconGate too - in nano power mode

Porto, Portugal – 25 November 2010 – Today, SILICONGATE LDA, a specialized supplier of high-performance Power Management IP for ASIC/SoC, is celebrating its second birthday.

After a first year heavily marked by the development of the astonishing new cores that are now the basis of the company’s portfolio, this second year of existence was no less of a thrill. SiliconGate successfully entered the very competitive IP market having closed contracts with very strategic customers. One of these is a four-year contract with Wolfson Microelectronics PLC, a global leader in high-performance mixed-signal semiconductor solutions for the consumer electronics market.

Despite these first two very inspiring years, the company’s mindset is fully focused on the future and, as such, the goals for the third year are at least as daring as ever before. The company’s overall growth and the expansion of the current portfolio remain cornerstones of the global strategy. Adding to this there will be a strategic investment on the company’s certification; both on Quality (ISO 9001) and on the very recent portuguese Innovation standard (NP4457). 

“Making part of this project is an incredible honor” said Floriberto Lima, CEO of SiliconGate. “Adding to Chipidea's invaluable inheritance of customer commitment, this team has the design excellence that only comes from experience. In addition to the credit to Daniel Santos and José Proença, the creators of the hottest IPs (SGC67 and SGC21510), and to the incredible team behind all the developments, this celebration cannot go without a big THANK YOU to the father of microelectronics in Portugal: Prof. José Franca, and also to our Clients and partners.”

While celebrating its second birthday, this highly motivated team, fueled by success and supported by knowledge is in high gear to keep… Powering your Success!!
