Mai Logic Inc. earns "Ready for IBM Technology" Validation
FREMONT, CA. February 10, 2003. Mai Logic Incorporated, a
technology design house of integrated circuits/systems,
announced today that it has achieved "Ready For IBM Technology"
validation for its Articia S system controller and Teron CX
and Teron PX evaluation system boards for IBM's 750CXe and
750FX PowerPCTM processors based applications.
"MAI Logic has successfully developed optimized supporting
devices and reference designs for PowerPCTM microprocessor
application platforms which have passed a rigorous PowerPCTM compatibility validation testing process by IBM Microelectronics
labs," said Lisa Su, Director of PowerPCTM and emerging products,
IBM Microelectronics. "Solutions like MAI's 'Ready for IBM
Technology' chipset and evaluation systems give developers more
ways to enhance their applications, resulting in improved time
to market, more cost effective designs, and improved performance
products by our OEM customers."
"We at MAI are very excited about this latest achievement," said
Jason Hou, CEO of Mai Logic, Inc. "We will continue working
closely with IBM to better our product designs and development
following IBM's PowerPCTM processor roadmap. By leveraging the
strong ties we have with our manufacturing partners in Taiwan
and the close relationship with the leading developers worldwide,
MAI intends to deliver the most cost-effective, highest-quality
PowerPCTM offerings to the traditional PowerPCTM market place
and expanding it into new applications presently not in the
PowerPCTM application domain. This validation will further enable
IBM's and MAI's customers to accelerated time to market coupled
with significantly reduced resource deployment and management
costs."
Articia S
Articia S is the first in the Articia family of chipsets
designed with the revolutionary "Bus-Centric" methodology
to achieve a more balanced and efficient architecture serving
both CPU and peripheral bus requirements. Articia S can
support single- or dual-processors at 133MHz CPU bus speed.
It is also the first commercialized system controller to
provide AGP support for RISC processor based systems.
Next-generation Articia Sa and Articia P will soon be
available. For product details, please visit: http://www.mai.com.
Teron
Teron CX and Teron PX evaluation systems are generic ATX
motherboards built with PowerPCTM processors. The former is
the first PowerPCTM processor based board with enhanced AGP
option and the latter equipped with a 300-pin MegArray
connector, provides easy configuration to a range of
development platforms driven by single-processor and
dual-processor CPU module cards (including the latest
PowerPCTM 750FX processor).
The "Ready for IBM Technology" program is developed to help
OEMs identify hardware or software of IBM Business Partners
that have received validation with IBM's products. Eligible
participants must complete the validation process to obtain
the approval and use of the "Ready for IBM Technology emblem
as well as to further distinguish their product listings in
the IBM Global Solutions Directory. For more information,
