Silica launched a programme called Core ’n More, which provides a focus for the company’s portfolio of microcontroller solutions, tools, software support and design-in services. The initiative builds on extended services including sales and engineering support from an extensive network of factory trained and certified Field Applications Engineers. Silica also partners with companies who provide modules and engineering support for development systems, including Compilers, Debuggers, Simulators, Emulators and Development Boards.

Silica holds distribution agreements for ARM based silicon from suppliers such as Texas Instruments, NXP, Freescale, STMicroelectronics and Cypress. The Core ‘n More portfolio is completed from suppliers offering alternative cores such as Microchip and Renesas or Intel for high-end embedded applications. MCU customers will benefit from a European team of software specialists with expertise in Linux and other relevant embedded operating systems.

The company is the largest Microsoft Windows Embedded distributor in Europe, and the programme further develops thousands of successful projects supported by Silica
