History
Mikroelektronika was founded in 1997. by Nebojša Matić, Serbian entrepreneur, owner and General Manager. The company's slogan "making it simple" depicts efforts to make products easy-to-use and suitable for beginners. Company's first development system EPIC1, initially constructed for PIC16F84A microcontroller today is succeeded by 7th generation system EasyPIC v7, which was symbolically launched on October 7th, 2011. It's 6th generation system EasyPIC6[1] is widely known in PIC development community[2][3]. Mikroelektronika's products grew to be internationally recognized, and now it has distributors in over 38 countries across the globe, according to company's official distributors list. As of August 2011, company announced Mouser Electronics[4] as it's first world-wide distributor. Mikroelektronika is an official consultant on PIC microcontrollers and third party partner of Microchip Technology[5]. As of 2010 Mikroelektronika is listed as a trusted 3rd Party Tool Provider at Microchip Direct[6]. Company is also an official consultant and third party partner of Atmel[7], Cypress Semiconductors, NXP (founded by Philips)[8] and Official Competence Center of Telit Company[9]. Mikroelektronika is a member of prestigious Embedded Industry Cluster of Serbia[10].
