June 21, 2004, Taipei, Taiwan –– System General Corporation (SG), a professional power IC design company which specializes in power conservation and efficiency improvement, today announced that it has received an investment from Intel Capital. With the investment, SG will strengthen its product development and market segment penetration efforts as well as further establish its position as a leading player in the power IC industry.

With the investment, SG can look to expand their product offerings by developing high power efficiency power supply units (PSU) that meet "green" targets, such as U.S. Energy Star and other international specifications.

SG is the only Taiwan IC design company that provides total solutions for AC/DC power IC products. Its products span the entire range of control and management needs of AC/DC power systems. With the corporate vision of “innovation for a better tomorrow” in mind, SG has been devoting itself to developing power conversion technologies that are highly efficient and reduce power consumption. SG has so far received more than thirty patents worldwide for related technologies. With its patented innovation, all of SG’s power ICs incorporate green features to reduce standby power consumption and increase overall power system efficiency.

First established as a power supply design house, SG has been in the power supply business for more than twenty years. In 1999, SG successfully switched its track to the power IC design business. Presently SG’s major product lines include PWM controller ICs, PFC controller ICs, supervisor ICs, PWM/PFC combo ICs, and the highly integrated ATX combo ICs.

“We are continually developing new inventions to fulfill increasing power saving needs. To stay abreast, we need to have a broader spectrum of the horizon,” said Tom Yang, CEO and founder of SG. “We are glad to have Intel Capital invest in us. The investment will help in our global development.”

Commenting on the investment, Mr. Jason LS Chen, Intel Taiwan Country Manager, said, “Our investment in System General is an example of Intel Capital's support of local companies enhancing the computing platform.”
