AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2007--Silicon
Laboratories Inc. (Nasdaq:SLAB), a leader in high-performance,
analog-intensive, mixed-signal ICs, today announced its support for
ONE-NET, an open design standard for low-power wireless
applications for residential and small business control. All of
Silicon Laboratories' high-performance, mixed-signal microcontrollers
(MCUs) now support this open standard for wireless control.
The ONE-NET wireless standard is specifically designed to cost
effectively combine low power and a high level of security in a
comprehensive design specification distributed royalty-free,
accelerating the availability and use of wireless connectivity in a
variety of applications. Silicon Labs' 8-bit mixed-signal MCUs
integrate world-class analog with a high-speed pipelined 8051 CPU in
each device and are ideally suited for low-power wireless
applications. Combining high-precision analog peripherals, with a
low-current consumption, high-throughput (up to 100 MIPS) 8051 CPU and
up to 128 kB of on-chip Flash memory, these devices provide the
optimal platform for a wide range of wireless automation, industrial,
medical and residential monitoring and control applications. Low cost,
easy-to-use development kits are available for all Silicon Labs MCUs
to help speed system development.
"The ONE-NET community is pleased to have Silicon Labs support and
welcome them to the ONE-NET open source community for wireless
control," said James Martin, Director for the ONE-NET organization.
"The Silicon Labs product portfolio of high-performance MCUs is
excellent for ONE-NET-based designs, as it integrates cost-efficient
8-bit architecture with the high performance needed to support
encoding and encryption functions that are integral to our protocol."
