The cores are being used in applications such as DVB-C2/S2 Demodulators,
System Power Management Unit ICs, wireless and wireline communications,
LTE (News - Alert) and Satellite Transceivers. The majority of the IP blocks delivered
by S3 Group typically leverage its existing extensive IP portfolio and
customize these for specific customer requirements. S3 Group's (News - Alert)
customization capability is based on proven design methodologies, strong
adherence to design process and highly professional project management.
These capabilities enable the company to efficiently and repeatedly
deliver right-first-time analog, RF and Mixed-Signal components in
silicon.
"We have a healthy obsession with delivering value and quality to our
customers and gaining and maintaining their trust is of paramount
importance to us. While 2012 was another excellent year for S3 Group,
our world-class engineering team is committed to continuing the
expansion of a high quality IP portfolio which can be easily integrated
into SoCs and is ready for production," commented Dermot Barry, VP
Silicon BU, S3 Group. "Some of the world's largest fabless semiconductor
companies, as well as many ambitious start-ups trust S3 Group with the
delivery of key Mixed-Signal IP cores and our ambition is to maintain
our position as a leading independent supplier, while others exit the
market. We look forward to announcing further innovations and successes
over the coming quarters."
