Enhancing System Solutions FUJITSU MICROELECTRONICS EUROPE Enhancing System Solutions Services Automotive Multimedia Mobile Communications Networking/Telecoms Here at Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe (FME) we are engaged in an on-going program of responding to the changing nature of the “European market. We provide state-of-the-art semiconductor devices and leading-technology plasma and liquid crystal display panels. But, more than that, we endeavor to develop systems solutions in partnership with our customers while at the same time, we try to broaden the scope of our operation and genuinely add value wherever possible. The global perspective Fujitsu is a world leader in customer-oriented IT and communications solutions concentrated on three areas: software & services, hardware platforms and electronic devices. Our global goal is to focus on customer needs, quality, timeliness and management speed. 25 years of experience in Europe Over the past 25 years we have established ourselves in the major European markets of Automotive, Networking/Telecoms, Mobile Communications, Multimedia and Industrial & Home appliances through a special blend of technical experience and applied expertise. What’s more, FME continues to drive technologies forward to meet the ever-increasing demands of tomorrow's applications – in which Europe leads the world! ” Shimpei Hirata President Fujitsu Microelectronics Europe GmbH Dreieich-Buchschlag / Frankfurt / Germany 2 Industrial & Home Appliances Flat Panel Displays Quality Environment Local Support European Offices Enhancing System Solutions ujitsu’s traditional corporate strengths, in markets ranging from together with re-use of intellectual property and a company-wide Finformation technology to telecommunications and from displays system solution focus, benefits the fastest-growing sectors of the to semiconductors, have helped it become one of the world’s leading information age. suppliers for the Broadband Internet era. Our mission – to offer customers products that meet their needs, quickly and efficiently – The FME ASIC design group concentrates on developments is achieved by exploiting key competitive advantages, keeping comprising all semiconductor technologies leading to closely in touch with the world’s markets, and offering products that systems-on-a-chip (SoC). Through the use of virtual components, meet local needs through long-established operational bases design time is minimised and the re-use of IP is locally in the USA, Asia and in Europe. maximised. FME’s microprocessor IC technology is being harnessed to provide creative solutions As a pivotal part of this global multidisciplinary in key applications, especially in automotive organisation, Fujitsu Microelectronics and home appliances. It includes Europe (FME) develops and supports general-purpose 8, 16 and 32-bit highly value-added solutions for target microcontrollers and a family of graphic sectors, using its European technology processors, as well as specialised expertise as the foundation for solutions integrated circuits for peripheral control. spanning the total value chain. FME focuses on markets where Europe leads by FME’s Mixed Signal strengths in innovation such as automotive, mobile architecture optimisation and data communications, networking/ telecoms, converter development enable improved industrial & home appliances and multimedia, system performance in telecoms and access together with flat panel displays for consumer products, applications, which depend critically on mixed infotainment systems and industrial/medical applications. signal technology. This integrated solutions approach to technology is underscored by innovative components, IP and display products, backed by Europe based design, software and application support. Technology Focus Marketing and technology expertise is focused on specialist groups, dedicated to application-specific ICs, microcontrollers, and mixed- signal and RF devices, working closely with customers and third parties. Through these groups, the complete integration of design and production processes is applied across all semiconductor market sectors. This strategy of skills & technology integration, 3 Enhancing System Solutions Services Automotive Multimedia Mobile Communications Networking/Telecoms Services ME’s customers and partners in Europe are supported by a systems like electronic data interchange, enterprise resource comprehensive array of design, development, manufacturing planning and Internet/Extranet solutions provide up-to-the-minute Fand integrated IT services. information on demand.
