IC manufacturers with a name starting with 'C'

Click on the first letter of the IC manufacturer you're looking for:
0..9	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z

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.

General

California ASIC is a full service supplier of gate arrays.
California ASIC specializes in FPGA to gate array conversions as well as standard gate array developments.

Regarding your article on obsolete parts, we at California ASIC specialize in manufacturing low volumes of obsolete parts. 1000 parts is normally the minimum that makes economic sense.
We retarget these chips to one of our CMOS processes and then deliver them directly to the customer.

Semiconductor die and wafers

Semiconductor distributor and value-added processor of die and wafers for multichip modules, hybrids and other unencapsulated applications. Specialists in Known Good Die (KGD) processing.

World's largest distributor of bare die. We have contracts with 20 semiconductor manufacturers to process and distribute their wafers and die. We have saw, visual, wafer probe and 100%/burn in (Known Good Die) capability. We also do small lots (thousands) of hermetic assembly and test (when the manufacturer does not offer a particular die/package combination). We have three TAB bonders on line which we use for our patented SofTAB known good die (TAB leads are removed after test and burn in, leaving 100% tested bare die) and also for display drivers and other TAB applications.
We have shipped more KGD than anyone else besides Intel and we started shipping KGD years before they did! I'm sure some of your visitors are interested in a competent, professional bare die distributor and KGD processor.

About the company:

Cologne Chip was founded in Köln (Cologne), Germany, focusing on the development of ISDN controllers for Basic Rate- and Primary Rate Interface.

The company developped the first single chip ISDN controller and has become leader in the technology of ISDN in applications of PCI, USB, PCMCIA and ISA.

The ISDN Chip Company is privately owned and became a limited company by shares (AG) in May 2000 because of its growing success.

About the products:

Cologne Chip offers highly integrated single-chip solutions built in pure CMOS technolgoy (operating power from 3V to 5V). All ISDN HDLC controller have very deep FIFOs, integrated S/T interfaces and different bus interfaces, e.g. for microprocessor, PCI, PCMCIA or USB.

Products are available for ISDN PC cards, TAs, ISDN PABX, LAN routers, ISDN phones and any other ISDN equipment. The HFC-S USB and the HFC-S PCI A make ISDN internet access possible with a single-chip USB or PCI terminal adapter.

Cologne Chip's new HFC-S active is a powerful SoC based on an ARM7 RISC processor for ISDN telephones, ISDN PABX and ISDN TAs.

CompuLab manufactures 'all-in-one' components for embedded systems based on Intel's i80960Hx and i80960Jx processors. A single 208-pin QFP component integrates a DRAM controller, a flash controller, UART(s), SPI, reset with watchdog, parallel ports, a programmable chip-select generator, a bus arbiter, DMA(s) and other functions essential for embedded systems.

The C39601 / C39602 'all-in-one' System Solution chip provides an easy and economical way to implement a high- performance computer sub-system for embedded applications. The C39601/2 comprises a comprehensive set of control and interface functions. Together with an i80960H CPU and memory components, the C39601/2 implements a complete 32-bit embedded RISC computer.

Outstanding performance and a high level of integration makes the C39601/2 the best choice for the implementation of embedded cores into applications such as laser printer engines, network routers, LAN switch management, protocol analyzers and many others.

About the company:

CompuLab is an innovative hi-tech company located in Israel. The company develops hardware products, provides design consultancy and performs research. It was founded as a response to the growing demand of the computer industry for shortened development cycles with uncompromised quality and reliability. Since its establishment in 1992, CompuLab has designed many products and cards in the areas of high speed computer boards, LAN, PCI and others. More than 30 products have been developed so far. In the beginning of 1997, CompuLab introduced the CORE Module Product Line
Products developed and manufactured by CompuLab are used by international companies such as CISCO, OKI and SIEMENS.
