Holtek 2006 New Product Release Seminar

The Formosa Regent hotel in Taipei was the venue for this year’s new product release seminar on 28th September. Present at the event were over 200 of Holtek’s important partners and customers, for which presentations were given on the many new releases during 2006 of Holtek’s standard and embedded range of new MCU devices as well as the new peripheral devices releases. This year, in addition to the extension of devices within presently existing categories, also saw the release of a completely new range for E-bike applications in the form of the HT45RM03 + HT45B0C devices and the small outline package HT48R0X and new wireless solution devices etc. At the event, were also on display a range of demo boards for E-bikes, LED displays, VFD displays, USB speaker, Zigbee solutions, LED back light, wireless solutions etc.


The important new products presented at the seminar were the E-bike ASSP MCU, High Voltage MOSFET Gate Driver, Dual Slope A/D Type MCU, 10-Pin I/O Type MCU, C/R-F Type MCU, A/D with OPA Type MCU, Cost-Effective I/O Type MCU, Programmable Timer, Low Speed USB MCU, A/D with SPI Type MCU, USB Speaker MCU, USB phone MCU, Video Peripherals, Display Driver and Power Management devices. The design and release of these new products will further expand the depth and breadth of the Holtek product range application area.


Holtek Semiconductor’s president, Mr. Gordon Gau, at the seminar expressed his view that Holtek will continue to expand its development efforts into new related application areas, such as those seen this year for E-bike solutions and those for small outline packages, such as the HT48R0X etc. In response to the market competitive demands, Holtek will continue to remain committed to the release of devices with highly competitive advantages. Following on from a brief seminar introduction and explanation by assistant president, Mr. Chang Chi, the new product seminar was formally declared open.


This years presentations were subdivided into two main important areas, namely those of new product presentations and application presentations. The morning sessions witnessed presentations on Holtek’s new products, while the afternoon session was for the application presentations, all given by various Holtek personnel. Present at the event, in addition to Holtek personnel, were staff from Holtek’s agents as well as other guests. The refreshment break periods provided an opportunity for those present to understand in greater detail the products on display, while at the end of each session time was also set aside for questions from attendees to the product line staff.


This year’s sessions, when put together, could certainly be viewed as a successful event, with the numbers of attendees at the morning and afternoon sessions, both exceeding those in attendance at previous year’s events. The event witnessed much enthusiasm of those attending and will certainly serve to bring Holtek and its customers closer together.
