Analogix Semiconductor is a world leader in high-performance digital media interface solutions focused on high-speed serializer/deserializer (SerDes) technologies such as DisplayPort and High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). Offering standard products, custom application-specific IC (ASIC) design services and intellectual property (IP) solutions, Analogix has successfully ported and proven its analog and mixed-signal IP solutions in a variety of process nodes from 180 nanometer to 28 nanometer. Analogix partners with all the leading foundries, including TSMC, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, UMC, Fujitsu, Samsung, SMIC and many leading assembly and test houses.

Analogix has pushed the boundaries of ultra-low power design with its award-winning CoolHD technology, the world's only zero power HDMI Tx. Leveraging the success of CoolHD in mobile applications, Analogix developed SlimPort which delivers uncompressed HD audio-video over existing mobile universal serial bus (USB) connectors to large screen displays. By removing the need for extra connectors and offering the benefits of CoolHD and SlimPort, Analogix enables innovative device manufacturers to deliver HD multi-media content and productivity solutions in a cheaper, slimmer, lighter form factor. With the addition of CoolHD technology, consumers can enjoy on-the-go HD content without draining the handheld's batteries, resulting in an enhanced end-user experience. SlimPort is compatible with existing displays and offers a variety of connection options through a single thin cable with an embedded converter.

Analogix has successfully deployed its HDMI and DisplayPort products across multiple high-growth markets such as mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, notebooks, PC graphics and game consoles. Working with leading customers across the world, Analogix offers a uniquely flexible engagement model ranging from standard product to ASIC and IP licensing.

"Analogix deeply appreciates the broad reach and access to information that GSA offers. Spanning the entire semiconductor industry, GSA and its members offer valuable information and insight that helps companies to continually enhance their products and supply chain to ultimately better serve their customers."

2010 was an exciting year for Netronome. It was their third consecutive record year of growth, fueled by several of their early design wins moving into full-scale production based on the general availability of their network flow processor, the NFP-3240.

Netronome's NFP-3240 brings breakthrough performance to a broad range of demanding networking applications, including shared service blades in switches and routers, 3G and long-term evolution (LTE) wireless infrastructure, cyber-security appliances and virtualized servers. The NFP‐3240 is powered by 40 programmable networking cores running at 1.4 GHz to deliver 56 billion instructions per second for L2‐L7 processing. It is the first network flow processor to combine high‐performance network, content and security processing into a fully programmable device. This provides over 40 Gbps of line-rate L2‐L7 processing and deep packet inspection. The NFP's high-speed Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIe) 2.0 interface offers enhanced input/output virtualization (IOV) support for the tightest coupling with virtualized Intel multicore processors in embedded communications designs. The NFP is backed by the industry's largest suite of development tools including an optimizing C‐compiler, and it is the only processor that is backward-compatible with the market‐leading Intel IXP‐28XX network processor.

In addition to the new technology and strong leadership, Netronome is surrounded by an extensive ecosystem of partners offering support of the NFP-3200. Additionally, Netronome has amassed several prestigious awards for technology, innovation and business growth—most recently being named a winner of the Red Herring Global 100.

"As a young fabless semiconductor company, our new GSA membership will allow us to benefit from the vast industry experience of the member companies and build relationships that expand our ecosystem. The opportunity to network with other fabless semiconductor companies is invaluable and provides us with a broad perspective for which to develop our products for next-generation networks."
