Matt,

I'm new to following CHPS, but from my first reading of CHPS, I
don't think they have any of their own Fabs. They design and market.
They do note that some competitors do manufacture their own products.

From the latest 10-K: "The company subcontracts to independent suppliers the manufacture of its products. This strategy enables the Company to avoid the large capital investment and overhead expense associated with a captive semiconductor fabrication facility. Accordingly, the Company can focus on its core strengths: the design and marketing of its products."

Hope this is of help.

BTW, Was anything determined of the significance of the abundant number of design wins mentioned on the web page?
