Sunin to Distribute Energy Micro Products in Korea

Energy Micro has appointed Sunin Technology as a distributor in Korea. Under the terms of the agreement, Sunin is supporting the complete family of Energy Micro's low power MCUs, comprising the ARM Cortex M3 based EFM32 Tiny Gecko, Gecko and Giant Gecko devices.

Founded in 1986, Sunin Technology is one of Korea’s leading suppliers of semiconductor components and is headquartered in the Gyeonggi-do province of South Korea. Regarded as a total solution provider, the Sunin team covers a broad range of sectors, including telecom, security, medical and consumer.

K.H. Park, President of Sunin Technology, said, “Korea’s appetite for applying innovative new technology to create real competitive advantage means there is strong potential here for Energy Micro’s unique brand of ultra low power microcontroller range. Our expertise in the more energy sensitive application areas such as alarm and security systems and medical and lifestyle equipment will be invaluable.”

Bryan Hung, Energy Micro’s VP for Sales, APAC, said, “In choosing to work with Sunin Technology, the skilled technical support they could offer and their commitment to good customer service was important. The Korean market demands the right mix of technical expertise and sophistication and we believe the combination of Sunin and the EFM32 Gecko microcontroller will be compelling.”

Based on the ARM Cortex M3 core, Energy Micro’s EFM32 Gecko microcontroller family has been proven to consume a quarter of the energy required by other 8-, 16- and 32-bit microcontroller solutions. The EFM32 Gecko microcontroller is in full production and details of the software and pin-compatible Tiny Gecko and Giant Gecko products have recently been announced. The microcontrollers are supported by a comprehensive tool suite.
