MosChip India
MosChip had very matured I/O product line and had been recording about
M in revenues annually without much growth. The division was sold to
ASIX Electronics Corporation, a listed company in Taiwan, at a
consolidated amount of M and the inventory at cost. MosChip''s SOC
(System On a Chip) line is fairly new and has a potential to increase
revenues much more than the I/O line but will require additional
investment for marketing/sales. The Company is leveraging its SOC
design/development experience to go after Value added services such as
Custom ASIC development. With the increase in Design Services
opportunities world wide, MosChip has incorporated an office in
Singapore to address the regional markets, MosChip decided to add
another division to branch into Semiconductor Design Services. MosChip
will focus on the SOC products and the Design Services.
