IC manufacturers with a name starting with 'M'

Notes:

• Beware that a company may be listed under it's abbreviation ('IBM') but also under it's full name ('International Business Machines') so when you want to make sure, check both places.
• These listings usually cover about 99.9% of all chip manufacturers so it will be very appreciated by me and currently about 250,000 of your colleagues (monthly) all over the world when you would email me about anything that should be changed or added.
• For foundries see also the foundry and chip making pages.

Bought by PMC-Sierra on 20000614.

Vancouver, BC, June 14, 2000 -- PMC-Sierra, Inc. (NASDAQ:PMCS) today announced the acquisition of privately held fabless semiconductor company Malleable Technologies. PMC-Sierra will exchange approximately 1,250,000 shares for the 85% of Malleable Technologies it does not already own. The San Jose-based Malleable team of 40 employees will join PMC-Sierra's rapidly expanding Silicon Valley office. The transaction, subject to completion, will be accounted for as a purchase and is expected to close in the third quarter.

Collaborative Efforts Provide Optimized Voice-Over-Packet Solutions In April 2000, Malleable Technologies announced its MECATM family of Digital Signal processors (DSP) optimized for Voice-Over-Packet processing applications which bridge voice and high speed data networks by compressing voice traffic into ATM or Internet Protocol (IP) packets. The unique MECA architecture is the first to integrate the DSP and packet processing functions in a single chip and replaces over ten DSP devices typically used in current designs. This architecture enables each MECA device to process and packetize up to 96 channels of compressed voice or 512 channels of uncompressed voice enabling an improvement of over 300% in channel density per square inch of board space.
