SANTA CLARA, CA and COPENHAGEN – January 9, 2007 – Enigma Semiconductor, an emerging technology leader in next-generation switching silicon, today announced that Jens Madsen has joined the company as Vice President of Engineering, directing the company's Copenhagen-based research and development team and reporting to Enigma President and CEO Rob Sturgill. The company's HybriCore™ chipset, announced in July 2006, is the world's first linearly scalable packet switching chipset, and has been identified by Electronic Design Magazine as one of its Hot 100 Products of 2006. The chipset family, which features both packet switches and a range of fabric managers, sets new benchmarks for density, efficiency and flexibility. Based on Enigma's HybriCore™ architecture, the chipset streamlines time-to-market for OEMs designing next-generation metro access switches and routers, multi-service provisioning platforms (MSPPs), enterprise routers and storage platforms. "We are excited to have Jens join us to move our initial family of HybriCore devices to full production and to deliver our next series of solutions to the marketplace," said Rob Sturgill, president and CEO of Enigma Semiconductor. Madsen was previously director of development for Vitesse Semiconductor's Ethernet Product Division, where he was responsible for all development activities related to Vitesse Gigabit Ethernet Switch products. Before joining Vitesse in 1998, he worked in the ASIC group at DSC Communications, later Alcatel Denmark, as architect and designer. Previously he worked as an associate professor at the Broadband Telecommunication Institute at the Technical University of Denmark in the fields of architecture, design and implementation of high speed VLSI for broadband ATM systems. Madsen holds MScEE and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark, focusing on high-speed self-timed circuit design.
