Prth w a s Silicon Systems, it's bit tricky to find old news in case of new name and new corporate identity..:but:..
(How long computer, utilities and consumer stocks problems are going to halt wireless rally = total mobility up.)
"Silicon Systems, a privately held company based in Dublin, Ireland, engineered the chip that is driving this device, which was designed by the MP3 startup E-ssette.com and is due to hit stores by the holiday season. It is one of several digital signal processors (DSPs), or chips that convert analog signals to digital, that Silicon Systems has licensed this year for use in devices like mobile phones and MP3 players.
Even if you've never heard of Silicon Systems, you probably know some of its biggest licensees, including Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN), Lucent Technologies (NYSE: LU), and STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM) (formerly SGS Thomson), which owns 20 percent of the company. Last year GoldmanSachs (NYSE: GS) bought a 23 percent stake for an undisclosed amount. "" |
