Cyan Holdings plc is an electronics company which specialises in the design, sale and support of a range of 16-bit and 32-bit general-purpose low power microcontroller chips (“MCUs”).
Originally Cyan was a spin out from Cambridge Consultants Limited to use its 16-bit core, the same core used in CSR’s first Bluetooth chips. Since Cyan was founded in 2002, it has achieved 75 design wins for its initial eCOG1®k product and is expanding the range of the patent-protected eCOG1® family and introducing a new range of 32 bit microcontrollers.
Cyan is a fabless semiconductor company meaning that chip manufacture, assembly, testing and shipping is completely outsourced, eliminating the need for manufacturing capital costs.
Cyan has introduced design integration support software, CyanIDE®, to support the Company’s entire range of current and future microcontrollers. The software makes chip integration into customers’ products vastly more simple, quick, reliable and hence less expensive while dramatically reducing development time. Cyan created CyanIDE® to avoid relying on standard tools from third party suppliers.
It was listed on the AIM market in December 2005. It operates through the brand Cyan Technology.
