MegaChips was established in 1990 as a fabless company focusing on R&D. Since its establishment, Megachips, as a maker of LSIs, ,has been outsourcing production functions so that it can devote its energies to developing new technologies, specializing in the research and development of algorithms and architectures to quickly create LSIs and offer the functions that customers need.
Unique algorithms and architectures have tremendous impact on product performance and pricing. We develop these algorithms and architectures to keep ourselves competitive, and we hold patents and other intellectual property rights on most of our products.
Our engineers possess LSI and system knowledge, and incorporate multiple functions required for customers' system equipment into single chips (system LSIs) on a built-to-order basis. Offering leading-edge system LSIs that are both compact and customer-specific and that boast low power consumption, we propose original solutions to the issues that customers confront.
This approach helps upgrade the performance of customers' equipment and dramatically enhances cost-effectiveness, enabling us to provide services tailored to the need of customers.
