SILICON LINE

Munich, Germany-based Silicon Line (www.silicon-line.com) is the unchallenged world leader in developing and providing innovative ultra-low-power optical link technology that enables the use of thin, long, lightweight and very high speed ‘active’ optical cables for a wide array of consumer electronics products – including TVs, set-top boxes, video game consoles, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) headsets and related devices – as well as commercial and industrial application... s. ‘Active’ refers to powered electronics integrated within the cable. Clear evidence of Silicon Line’s global leadership in ultra-lower-power optical technology can be seen not only by its steadily evolving line of leading-edge and industry-first products – with more than 25 different products now in use – but also in its pivotal role within the HDMI Forum, where it has successfully led efforts to enhance support for active optical cable technology standards in the latest specification, HDMI 2.1. Founded in 2005 as an outsource integrated circuit (IC) design house, Silicon Line quickly developed proven expertise in ultra-low-power, analog and mixed-signal chip design. Billions of ICs based on its designs have been used in products of major brand-name manufacturers.More
