VLSI Technology Ltd
is a subsidiary of VLSI Technology Inc. a USA semiconductor company. The
UK office comprises sales, design and applications engineering functions.
VLSI specialises in complex, high performance cell based ASICs especially
designs requiring its broad range of library cells and complex functional
systems blocks. VLSI has a flexible approach to design support, from advising
on basic design, through doing joint designs to taking completed layouts
for fabrication. Designs are accepted in a very wide range of formats
and from most available design routes. VLSI's own FABs produce CMOS ASICs
in 0.6 to 0.25 technologies.
