Cortus opens office in Bundang, Korea

BUNDANG, KOREA: Cortus, a technology leader in cost effective, silicon efficient, 32-bit processor IP, has opened an office in Korea. It has also transferred Sebastien Ternat, previously a senior engineer in the Montpellier R&D centre, to lead the Cortus Korea activity.

Ternat, a graduate in Microelectronics of Polytech'Montpellier (ISIM), brings extensive technical experience in the development of processor cores, subsystems and software. He joined Cortus in 2005 and has worked on all aspects of the Cortus product offering since then.

"We are very pleased to be opening an office in Korea", says Michael Chapman, CEO and president of Cortus, "This is the second major step in the worldwide expansion of Cortus after opening a Silicon Valley office six months ago. Asia represents a major growth area for our company and with existing licensees in Korea, Cortus is investing in providing a high level of local support to ensure customer success."

The Cortus family of APS processors starts with the world's smallest 32-bit core, the APS1, and goes up to the floating point FPS6. All cores interface to Cortus' peripherals including Ethernet 10/100 MAC, USB 2.0 Device and USB 2.0 OTG via the efficient APS bus.
