Virage Logic Snapshot
Virage Logic sees the logic in embedded memory. The company's compiler software allows chip designers to embed Virage Logic's memory designs into complex system-on-a-chip (SoC) devices used in electronic gear such as network routers and switches, mobile phones, digital still cameras, and PCs. Virage Logic also offers software used to design integrated circuits (ICs) based on its compilers, and provides custom embedded memory design services. The company's top customers include AMD, Freescale Semiconductor, IBM, LSI Corp., TSMC, Texas Instruments, and UMC. More than half of sales comes from outside the US. In 2010 Synopsys acquired Virage Logic for about $315 million in cash.
