Jennic Limited was a privately held UK-based fabless semiconductor company founded in 1996. It was acquired by Netherlands-based NXP Semiconductors in 2010 and now operates as the NXP Low Power RF product line based in Sheffield, England. The company developed a range of wireless microcontrollers that support low-power wireless standards, particularly 802.15.4, 6LoWPAN and ZigBee, and also supplied wired communications products, e.g. ATM[1] and RapidIO[2] cores. HistoryFounded by CEO Jim Lindop, Jennic's main investors included UK billionaire Eddie Healey.[3] [4] In addition to its headquarters in Sheffield, UK, the company had offices in China, Japan, Taiwan, and the US. Customers included IBM, Texas Instruments, Johnson Controls and Honeywell.[5] Originally focused on IP licensing and design services, Jennic repositioned to focus on fabless semiconductor design in 2004.[6] Jennic also received funding from the Department of Trade and Industry in 2005.[7] In July 2010, Jennic was acquired by Netherlands-based NXP Semiconductors for $12.2 million, plus an additional $7.8 million in consideration if certain performance targets were met.[8] Approximately 50 UK-based Jennic employees transferred to NXP,[9] and the organisation now operates as the NXP Low Power RF product line based in Sheffield. TechnologyProducts developed by Jennic included JenNet, a wireless networking stack based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.[10] JenNet-IP included a 6LoWPAN protocol stack.[11] Jennic was the first chipset manufacturer to support this protocol for their 802.15.4 products.[12] In May 2011, NXP announced its intent to release JenNet-IP network layer software under an open source license.[13] References1. ^http://www.embedded.com/electronics-news/4132693/IBM-licenses-Jennic-ATM-technology 2. ^http://www.embedded.com/electronics-news/4158855/Jennic-validates-Serial-RapidIO-IP-in-silicon 3. ^"The market for mobile light switches" FT.com, 3 January 2007, retrieved 26 May 2011 4. ^"Rich List: Sofa tycoon Lord Kirkham sitting pretty" Sheffield Telegraph, 7 May 2011, retrieved 26 May 2011 5. ^"The market for mobile light switches" FT.com, 3 January 2007, retrieved 26 May 2011 6. ^"WTRS Executive Interview: Interview with Jim Lindop, CEO of Jennic Corporation" WTRS Newsletter, 18 July 2006, retrieved 26 May 2011 7. ^"Jennic receives £1.5 million DTI grant to fund further growth" D&R Headline News, 28 November 2005, retrieved 22 October 2009 8. ^"NXP buys Jennic, boosts short-range RF portfolio" EE Times, 26 July 2010 9. ^"NXP acquires low power RF specialist Jennic" EDN, 26 July 2010, retrieved 26 May 2011 10. ^"Jennic launches JenNet stack for scalable wireless sensor networks" EPN, 18 December 2007, retrieved 26 May 2011 11. ^{{cite book|author1=Rongbo Zhu|author2=Yan Ma|title=Information Engineering and Applications: International Conference on Information Engineering and Applications (IEA 2011)|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=fKAzECEfd-0C&pg=RA1-PA177|date=13 November 2011|publisher=Springer|isbn=978-1-4471-2386-6|page=177}} 12. ^{{cite book|author1=Zach Shelby|author2=Carsten Bormann|title=6LoWPAN: The Wireless Embedded Internet|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=3Nm7ZCxscMQC&pg=PT184|date=17 August 2011|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|isbn=978-1-119-96534-3|page=184}} 13. ^"NXP open sources JenNet-IP for Internet of Things" Electronics Weekly, 19 May 2011, retrieved 26 May 2011 External links
