David Srodzinski, Elonics CEO attends IET & GSA International Semiconductor Forum
08 April 2008

Elonics CEO and Managing Director, David Srodzinski will discuss some of the process choices for analogue and RF circuits in mixed signal at the 5th annual IET & GSA International Semiconductor Forum to be held 14-15 May 2008 at ExCel London. The 2008 Forum is designed to highlight the latest technology developments, particularly the challenges and solutions to some of the pressing technical issues facing semiconductor companies.

David Srodzinski will be part of an august panel of speakers including Chuck Fox, Vice President Sales & Marketing, Jazz Semiconductor; Dr. Jens Kosch, Chief Technical Officer, X-FAB Group; Carlos Azeredo Leme, Chief Technical Officer and Vice President Wireless Solutions, MIPS Technologies, Analog Business Group – Chipidea; and moderated by Peter Frith, Chief Technical Officer of Wolfson Microelectronics.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology is one of the world’s leading professional societies for the engineering and technology community. The IET has more than 150,000 members in 127 countries and has offices in Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific. The Institution provides a global knowledge network to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and ideas and promotes the positive role of Science, Engineering and Technology in the world.

Established in 1994, GSA (Global Semiconductor Association) began with 40 founding members and has grown to almost 500 members today. GSA membership accurately depicts the global reach of the semiconductor industry, with members representing more than 25 countries spanning North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Middle East.

About Elonics - “Wireless Silicon for a Digital Age”
Elonics Ltd. is a fabless mixed-signal semiconductor company specialising in the design and development of multi-band radio frequency (RF) IC products. Founded in 2003 and based in Livingston, United Kingdom, Elonics has developed an innovative radio frequency architecture called DigitalTune™ that is the foundation for a family of re-configurable CMOS RF front end products.

Elonics innovative technology allows manufacturers to design high performance multi-band radio transceivers with unrivalled power consumption and low system cost. Elonics products are targeted at high volume portable consumer electronics applications that require wireless multi-media connectivity where size, performance, price and power consumption are paramount. Elonics’ first product family is the E4000 series of silicon tuner solutions targeted at the reception of multi-standard digital TV and radio including DVB-T, ISDB-T, T-DMB, DVB-H, ISDB-H, DMB-T,
DAB and FM radio. Elonics secured £2M ($4M) Series A funding in February 2008. Key investors include Braveheart Investment Group, Scottish Venture Fund and a number of private investors including Brian Souter and Sir Tom Farmer.

About DigitalTune™
Elonics DigitalTuneTM is a patent pending radio frequency architecture that enables the design of multiband RF front ends using a single monolithic CMOS IC. The digitally programmable multi-band architecture is used in the E4000 tuner family to cover the complete spectrum from VHF 2 to L Band (76MHz to 1.70GHz) for mobile broadcast applications. DigitalTune™ is a universal architecture, and is capable of supporting other RF applications where re-configuration is highly desirable.

The direct conversion zero IF architecture is designed to save power and lower system cost. It eliminates the requirement for expensive and bulky external components such as SAW filters and RF baluns, yet offers extremely high performance. Elonics innovative DigitalTune™ architecture enables manufacturers to significantly improve upon today’s solutions offering support for multiple standards with a common re-configurable RF front end.
