MoSys partners up to deliver latest in embedded memory and interface IP

MoSys, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOSY) develops, and licenses intellectual property (IP) used by the semiconductor and electronics industry. In recent developments MoSys partnered up with industry counterparts to offer cutting edge solutions not previously available in the industry.

On July 14 MoSys announced that it has teamed up with Northwest Logic, the developer of IP Cores, to offer integrated PCI Express v 2.0 and DDR3 solutions. The new PCI Express 2.0 solution combines top IP from MoSys with expertise from Northwest Logic which offers a complete, pre-packaged PCI Express 2.0 solution. In addition the new DDR3 product combines the DDR3 PHY from MoSys with the high performance DDR3 SDRAM control core and add-ons from Northwest to deliver a cutting edge DDR3 solution.

According to David DeMaria, VP of Business Operations of MoSys, the high performance controller solutions from Northwest Logic provide a strong partner for MoSys technologies.

Earlier this year MoSys and CEVA partnered to deliver an integrated SATA 3.0 PHY and Controller solution. The IP solution unleashes the full potential of embedding a 6Gbps SATA interface in next-gen products. CEVA , the leading licensor of silicon IP DSP cores, has an influential history in Serial ATA.

MoSys was founded in 1991 and currently has 152 employees. Revenue for the last financial year reached USD 12.44m, the company made a net loss of USD 20.62m. Key to the company’s product line up is a semiconductor memory technology the company calls 1T-SRAM. This and other technology is licensed to companies that embed memory on circuit boards, including ‘systems-on-chips’. High speed parallel and serial interfaces are also a key part of the IP that MoSys licenses. Major acquisitions include the buyout of MagnaLynx Inc. in March 2010.
