Notes:

Beware that a company may be listed under it's abbreviation ('IBM') but alsounder it's full name ('International Business Machines') so when you wantto make sure, check both places.
These listings usually cover about 99.9% of all chip manufacturersso it will be very appreciated by me and currently about 250,000 ofyour colleagues (monthly) all over the world when you would emailme 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 conversionsas well as standard gate array developments.

Regarding your article on obsolete parts, we at California ASICspecialize 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 processesand 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 semiconductormanufacturers 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 SofTABknown 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 startedshipping KGD years before they did! I'm sure some of your visitors areinterested 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.
