Fresco Microchip is a fabless semiconductor company focused on leading-edge radio frequency (RF), mixed-signal and digital signal processing (DSP) architectures for consumer markets. As the leading supplier for television-grade hybrid receivers, the company has experienced explosive growth with record shipments exceeding five million units in Q1 2010. Fresco anticipates the exponential sales ramp to continue with shipments projected to increase ten-fold before the middle of the year, demonstrating that the company's game-changing technology, which offers unprecedented picture quality and lower systems costs, has transformed the TV receiver industry by delivering value through innovation. Seven of the top nine tuner manufacturers, who account for nearly 70 percent of the projected 500 million tuners available in 2010, are in production or designing with Fresco's technology. They include LG Innotek, the world's largest tuner manufacturer; Panasonic Electronic Devices, the world's quality leader for consumer electronics; and NuTune, the largest independent tuner manufacturer.

The rapid global adoption of Fresco's products has established the company's flagship technology as the new de-facto industry standard for hybrid (analog and digital) television picture quality at the lowest system cost. Leveraging decades of RF, mixed-signal and DSP expertise, the company is led by a team of TV semiconductor industry veterans with strong track records, multiple design patents and long-standing customer relationships with the world's most recognizable and respected consumer electronic brands. The company is headquartered in Toronto, Canada, with design centers in Ottawa, Canada and Irvine, California.
