Java microcontroller vendor DCT has opened its US base in Newark, CA.
Java microcontroller vendor DCT has opened its US base in Newark, CA.
The new offices provide sales, marketing and applications engineering support resources located close to the design centres of many major electronic OEMs, and will be managed by Mike Erwin.
DCT is at the vanguard of the trend towards real-time Java, and has developed two processor architectures for embedded applications, the lean Lightfoot core which requires around 25,000 gates, and Bigfoot which speeds Java execution on RISC cores.
Available now as IP, the technology is also being made available in application-specific microcontroller form, starting in mid 2002.
Mike Erwin has been appointed as DCT's VP Sales and Marketing for the NAFTA region, and brings extensive experience of embedded system design-in, following more than a decade in sales and support for microcontroller devices.
This included eight years with Mitsubishi and Samsung, and latterly, two years with Infineon as Senior Director of Marketing, working on the company's 16bit C166 processor and 8bit Intel-derivative product lines.
"Java is widely viewed as a catalyst for the successful exploitation of key market segments that are opening up for embedded system OEMs, but only if the language can be successfully adapted to run in constrained system environments", says Mike Erwin, VP Sales and Marketing of DCT, "DCT has solved that problem, and is establishing this center - its first outside the UK - to provide local support for customers throughout NAFTA".
