Need speed? Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) applies itself to making high-performance, high-bandwidth integrated circuits used to control the swift flow of voice and data transmissions across fiber-optic networks worldwide. Communications products, used in LANs and WANs, account for 80% of sales. The company's chips are also used in automated test equipment, high-speed computing, HDTV, and military applications. AMCC continues to grow through acquisitions; including its 2000 purchase of microchip maker MMC Networks in a $4.5 billion deal. AMCC sells directly and through manufacturers' representatives to customers such as Nortel Networks (38% of sales), 3Com, Alcatel, Cisco, Lucent, and Raytheon.
