Akros Silicon Expands into Silicon Valley.Increases Presence to Aggressively Pursue Business Opportunities FOLSOM, Calif. -- Akros Silicon, a fabless semiconductor company A fabless semiconductor company specializes in the design and sale of hardware devices implemented on semiconductor chips. It achieves an advantage by outsourcing the fabrication of the devices to a specialized semiconductor manufacturer called a semiconductor foundry or "fab. bringing power to the Ethernet world by enabling large-scale deployment of network-attached appliances, today announced the opening of their Silicon Valley Center in Sunnyvale, California Sunnyvale ([sʌniveil]) is a city in Santa Clara County, California, United States. It is one of the major cities that make up the Silicon Valley. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 131,760. . The opening of the Silicon Valley Center is in line with the worldwide expansion Akros Silicon has been implementing since securing Series B funding in early March. The investment has enabled Akros to expand and continue to aggressively pursue business opportunities. Akros Silicon's Sunnyvale center houses design and applications engineering, as well as sales and marketing teams to accelerate the company's leadership in the area of advanced power management for network attached devices. The company is offering highly differentiated integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1.
