Based on the criteria of "international-level products developed with local resources", 10 innovative products won the "Editor's Choice Award" this year. They come from Spreadtrum, Rigol, Agate Logic, SBS, ZLG, MIPS, Sensirion, EPC, Mornsun and Chipsea Technologies, with their outstanding achievements in semiconductor design and manufacturing mostly done in China. Technical support from distributors and excellent collaboration from electronics design engineers are key factors in electronic applications innovations. The EDN China "Engineers’ Favorite Distributor" Award, recognized distributors who are engaged in component product distribution within China with highly efficient and quality technical support services for system vendors over the past year. Based on the voting result of engineers, 3 companies received the "Engineers’ Favorite Local Distributor" Award, respectively Burnon International, ZLG MCU Development, and Secom Telecom, and five companies won the "Engineers’ Favorite International Distributor" Award, respectively Arrow, Avnet Electronics Marketing Asia, Cytech Technology Ltd, Premier Electronics and RS Components. Already in its sixth year, EDN China Innovation Award is the most influential award in China's electronics design industry. As China has become the world's largest IC consuming market, the award focuses on products and technologies recognized by Chinese electronics design engineers. The award selection process started in May 2010. participating companies nominated their best products launched in the Chinese market between June, 2009 and May, 2010. EDNChina.com's registered users voted on them and a judge panel comprised of industry experts and EDN China's senior editors chose the final winners from the product finalists. More than 300,000 readers and registered website users were encouraged to participate in the voting for this year's selection process through EDNChina.com, one of the dynamic active online community in China's electronics design and development industry, which boasts over 400,000 registered users.
