siliXon, not silicon

, Founding Engineer2 min read

Search for siliXon on Google and there's a good chance you'll see "These are results for silicon". We get it. Silicon is a very famous word, and we're a young one.

We're keeping our name anyway.

Why the name sounds like silicon

Every electronic device runs on silicon. The microcontroller, the sensors, the power regulator: each chip on a circuit board is built on it. siliXon is about the board those chips live on. You describe a device in plain English, and you get an editable PCB built from real parts.

So yes, our name sounds like silicon. That's the point. The X is what makes it ours.

What siliXon is not

  • Not silicon, the material chips are made from.
  • Not silicone, the rubber in phone cases and kitchen spatulas.

siliXon, spelt with an X, is text to electronics.
