LONDON — Hermann Hauser of Amadeus Capital Partners (Cambridge, England), backers of fabless semiconductor company XMOS Semiconductor Ltd. (Bristol, England) is set to join the board of directors of the company.

Hauser's move was announced by XMOS as it said it had raised $16 million of venture capital in a Series A round led by Foundation Capital (Menlo Park, Calif.). Bill Elmore of Foundation is also joining the XMOS board. Existing investors Amadeus Capital Partners and DFJ Esprit, which provided seed capital XMOS, also contributed to the round.

"The speed at which the company's technology has moved from university science to a commercial proposition has been remarkable. Customer reaction has been extremely positive and SDS [software-defined silicon] has the opportunity to be a truly disruptive technology," said Hauser in a statement issued by XMOS.

"XMOS has assembled an outstanding team of people clearly focused on delivering this industry-changing technology to its customers. We are thrilled to welcome Foundation, and to have the continued support of our founding investors at Amadeus and DFJ Esprit.," said James Foster, chief executive officer of XMOS in the same statement.

READER OFFER

This month Keithley Instruments is giving away two of its Model 2200 power supplies, worth 735 Euros each, for EETimes Europe's readers to win. The Model 2200-20-5: 20V, 5A, 100W on offer is one of five general-purpose programmable DC power supplies recently launched by the company, designed for source measurement instruments for component, module, and device characterization and test applications.

Part of the Series 2200 family, the unit’s voltage output accuracy is specified at 0.03% and its current output accuracy is 0.05%. The supply’s high output (1mV) and measurement (0.1mA) resolution makes it well-suited for characterizing low power circuits and devices in applications such as measuring idle mode and sleep mode currents to confirm devices can meet today’s ever-more-challenging goals for energy efficiency.

And the winners are:

In our previous reader offer, EPC was giving away ten of its EPC9002 development board kits, worth USD 95 each.
Lucky winners include  I. Blythe and C. Hardman from the UK, M. Casartelli and D. Cogliati from Italy, C. Cossio from Spain, W. Milarch from Germany, r. Milewicz from Poland, M. Prascak from Slovakia, A. Raidl from Austria and M. Taslakov from Bulgaria.
All should be receiving their kits soon. Let's wish them some interesting findings with their projects.
