IC manufacturers with a name starting with 'V'

Click on the first letter of the IC manufacturer you're looking for:
0..9	A	B	C	D	E	F	G	H	I	J	K	L	M	N	O	P	Q	R	S	T	U	V	W	X	Y	Z

Notes:

Beware that a company may be listed under it's abbreviation ('IBM') but also under it's full name ('International Business Machines') so when you want to make sure, check both places.
These listings usually cover about 99.9% of all chip manufacturers so it will be very appreciated by me and currently about 250,000 of your colleagues (monthly) all over the world when you would email me about anything that should be changed or added.
For foundries see also the foundry and chip making pages.

Vaishali

(Founded in 1999)

Vaishali

www.vaishali.com/

Bluetooth chip manufacturer.

Fabless semiconductor company focused on providing highly integrated solutions for cutting-edge broadband and wireless networking technologies. The initial products, designed with state-of-the-art 0.18 micron CMOS, utilize high bandwidth transmission technology to provide solutions for fibre, wireline and wireless LAN systems.

Delivers integrated semiconductors to equipment manufacturers in the Data Communications market. Vaishali's semiconductor design expertise is applied constantly in the service of manufacturers' needs for higher bandwidth and high-speed connectivity to the Internet. The Internet has become the dominant medium of communication throughout the world, yet high-speed access and high volume data transfer are not universally available. New broadband access technologies enable high speed web browsing, multi channel voice, video, secured data, and mobile communication. Vaishali is the semiconductor company that is providing the key building blocks in the broadband access revolution

Not since the Industrial Revolution has there been such a change in the way people work and communicate. Burgeoning new technologies are generating a mushrooming demand for sophisticated integrated circuits. Vaishali has anticipated the industry's needs and has invested heavily in design centers and partnerships. An example of Vaishali's proactive culture is the company's development of semiconductors for wireless circuits enabled by Bluetooth. This technology will use radio to allow notebook PCs, mobile phones, PDAs and WAP (Wireless Application Protocol) smart phones to share access to the Internet, a corporate intranet, and emerging data and voice services.
