How to waste time on a Sunday Morning - LSI ain't your father's chip company when it comes to standard parts (as if!). Looked at the medium to moderately - large semis - 1Billion+ in revenue (excl. MU, INTC and AMD - beasts of a different feather). Fewer products of course means highly customer/end-user demand susceptible (as if! <g>). Of course with LSI we also have a slew of customer specific chips which are even more customer/end-user dependent! To wit very difficult to estimate i/t revenue growth (which again is why I like the new ASSPs so much - as has been repeated ad nauseum): LSI (90 active products - even fewer chips [off-the-shelf types]) lsilogic.com about [excludes Symbios!] Atmel (about 280-320 parts) atmel.com Analog Devices (about 1,200 - 1,400+ products) products.analog.com National Semi (1,589 parts) national.com STM (easily over 1,000 presumably. Gave up! could not find an easy way to count - billions and billions <g> likely easily over a 1,000 and more than likely much more though I can't be absolutely sure) Shane.
