Orbit provides semiconductor design, manufacturing and engineering support services support services Psychology Non-health care-related ancillary services–eg, transportation, financial aid, support groups, homemaker services, respite services, and other services that allow system designers to manage application specific integrated circuit production, scheduling and inventory control effectively. Through Orbit's ENCORE! program, customers can convert their ASICs into Orbit gate arrays for more cost-effective solutions or accelerated delivery. The ENCORE! program, in conjunction with Orbit's independent manufacturing capability, addresses limitations associated with field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) as well as mask programmable gate arrays (MPGAs). The advantages of ENCORE! gate arrays include low-volume requirements, low-unit cost, fast turnaround, high performance, design flexibility, packaging options and guaranteed functionality. Because Orbit has its own manufacturing facility, it can guarantee customers on-time delivery. A leader in FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) A type of gate array that is programmed in the field rather than in a semiconductor fab. Containing up to hundreds of thousands of gates, there are a variety of FPGA architectures on the market. conversion services, Orbit has completed more than 550 design conversions through its ENCORE! program. In June, Orbit acquired KMOS Semiconductor, a supplier of CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) Pronounced "c-moss." The most widely used integrated circuit design. It is found in almost every electronic product from handheld devices to mainframes. mixed-signal (analog-digital) 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. designs based on cost-effective gate arrays. The KMOS mixed-signal gate arrays and their low-voltage design methodology provide a significant opportunity in battery-operated products. Orbit also provides high-reliability manufacturing and prototyping services. The Company sells its products and services to designers of a wide variety of electronic systems and products for application in the medical, telecommunications, consumer, aerospace and military, computers and peripherals, and other industries.
