Chips and Technologies Teams with Samsung for Market Leadership in Merged Memory & Logic Products.SAN JOSE San Jose, city, United States San Jose (sănəzā`, săn hōzā`), city (1990 pop. 782,248), seat of Santa Clara co., W central Calif.; founded 1777, inc. 1850. , Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1996--Chips and Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on : CHPS CHPS Collaborative for High Performance Schools CHPS Certified in Healthcare Privacy and Security CHPS Center for Health Policy Studies (healthcare consulting firm with offices in New York, Maryland, and Illinois) CHPS Combat Hybrid Power System ) is partnering with Samsung Semiconductor, Inc. (San Jose, CA) in developing a family of high-performance Adj. 1. high-performance - modified to give superior performance; "a high-performance car" superior - of high or superior quality or performance; "superior wisdom derived from experience"; "superior math students" portable PC display controllers that integrate memory and graphics technologies on a single chip. By leveraging Samsung's position as the leading supplier of Merged Memory Logic and processing technologies, Chips expects to strengthen its position as the dominant supplier of graphics and video controllers for the portable PC market. Under the arrangement, an extension of Chips' existing business relationship with the world's largest memory supplier, Samsung will manufacture the new high-performance portable graphics controller family using its state-of-the-art 0.35-micron multi-layer ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "a-sick." A chip that is custom designed for a specific application rather than a general-purpose chip such as a microprocessor. technology. The first integrated memory/logic product will be delivered in early 1997. "This product line combines our highly successful HiQVideo(TM) family of portable graphics and video controller products with leading edge memory technology and expertise provided by the world's largest memory supplier," stated Keith Keith may refer to: People with the given name Keith:
externally austere but inwardly violent. [Br. Lit.: Measure for Measure] See : Hypocrisy Angelo asked by Isabella to cancel her brother’s death sentence, Angelo agrees if she will yield herself to him. [Br. , Vice President of Marketing of Chips and Technologies Chips and Technologies (C&T) was the first fabless semiconductor company, a model developed by its founder Gordon Campbell. Its first product was an EGA IBM compatible graphics chip. This was followed by chipsets for PC motherboards and other computer graphics chips. . "Products in this family provide solutions for market segments where integration and power management are primary requirements. We will continue to develop stand-alone (jargon) stand-alone - Capable of operating without other programs, libraries, computers, hardware, networks, etc. Exactly what is absent is presumed to be obvious from context. "We only run Windows on stand-alone PCs because it's too dangerous to run it on networked ones." products that offer various levels of functionality for the different market segments we serve." "We view our relationship with trend-setting customers such as Chips and Technologies as an important step in our strategy to bring true embedded Inserted into. See embedded system. dynamic random access memory Dynamic random access memory (DRAM) is a type of random access memory that stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit. Since real capacitors leak charge, the information eventually fades unless the capacitor charge is refreshed periodically. (DRAM) based ASIC products to the market," stated Farzad Zarrinfar, Samsung's Senior Product Marketing Manager for ASIC products. "Chips and Technologies brings a proven track record of designing high-performance and low-power ASICs with innovative functionality to address the needs of the high-volume PC market." Future products will further integrate logic and memory to significantly enhance performance and functionality. Chips and Technologies will continue to work with Samsung to define future products that take advantage of Samsung's advanced Merged Memory Logic and processing technologies. Chips will leverage its extensive customer base and sales channel presence to market these products worldwide. Angelo says the new family of Merged Memory Logic ASIC products will be software- and footprint-compatible with the current generation of HiQVideo controller solutions. "Our goal is to have the right products available, based on our customers needs, to provide both true cost savings at the system level and measurable improvements in performance and power consumption," stated Angelo. "Through our close relationship with the DRAM-ASIC market leader, Samsung, we can provide substantial on-chip memory while continuing to enhance graphics performance." Samsung's semiconductor division is the world's sixth largest semiconductor manufacturer and the leading producer of memory products. Chips and Technologies, Inc. is a leading supplier of highly integrated semiconductor and software solutions that provide graphics, video and other capabilities to portable and desktop computers.
