Chipmaker IDT to buy rival ICS for $1.7
billion 06/17/2005 03:46 PM

Semiconductor maker Integrated Device Technology (IDT) has reached an agreement to take over rival Integrated Circuit Systems  (ICS) in a cash-and-stock deal valued at around $1.7 billion.

"This is merger of two successful companies," IDT Chief Executive Officer Greg Lang said during a conference call with analysts. "We believe this is a complementary fit bringing scope and scale to both companies."

Santa Clara, California-based IDT generated net income of $13 million last year on $391 million in sales of its semiconductor devices for networking equipment. ICS, headquartered in Norristown, Pennsylvania, had net income of $78.5 million on sales of $272.1 million in its last fiscal year.

Lang, who will remain CEO of the combined company, said the two vendors have some competitive overlap in the communication and PC component market, but also have diverse product portfolios in other areas, like the digital TV and military device markets. He expects the acquisition to extend IDT's product line while saving the enlarged company up to $50 million a year, within the next four years, by reducing redundant spending.

ICS CEO Hock Tan will become chairman of the combined company's nine-member board, to which IDT will designate five directors and ICS will appoint four.

The deal calls for ICS shareholders to receive 1.3 shares of IDT stock and $7.25 in cash per ICS share, a combined value of around $23.54, based on Wednesday's closing price of IDT shares (ticker symbol: IDTI) on the Nasdaq exchange. In Thursday trading, IDT shares dropped 8 percent to close at $11.51, while ICS (ICST) shares rose 10 percent, to $21.77.

Pending shareholder and regulatory approvals, the companies expect the deal to close toward the end of 2005.

Broadcom's purchase of Widcomm should make it easier to integrate Wi-Fi and Bluetooth together: Widcomm's chips are in a number of major products, the company says, including Dell, HP, IBM, and Sony. An Actiontec Bluetooth adapter that I documented as part of The Wireless Networking Starter Kit chapter on Bluetooth features Widcomm chips--and a quite excellent user interface which I assume was created by Widcomm or a partner....

Taiwanese Makers Open Up 16x DVD Burners

Taiwanese Makers Open Up 16x DVD Burners 08/21/2004 10:43 AM
ASUSTeK Computer, the world’s largest maker of mainboards, and Pioneer, one of the world’s biggest producers of electronic equipment, recently began to ship their new DVD burners that are capable of recording DVDs at 16x speed, broadening the offerings of high-speed disc recorders on the market.

The latest DVD burner from ASUS, DRW-1604P, is capable of recording DVD±R discs at 16x, DVD±RW discs at 4x, DVD+R DL (Dual Layer) at 4x, CD-R discs at 32x, CD-RW discs at 24x and also read DVD-ROM and CD-ROM discs at 16x and 40x speeds respectively. The optical disc drive is equipped with technologies aimed to avoid buffer underrun and other errors while writing. Pioneer’s DVR-A08XLA recorder boasts the same specification, as ASUSTeK is an OEM supplier for Pioneer.

Earlier this year when Philips Electronics initiated production of its DVD recorders capable of burning DVD discs at 16x speed some Japanese and Taiwanese companies, such as Pioneer, Sony, BenQ, Lite-On and ASUSTeK said they would postpone the volume production of 16x DVD burners at least till the end of July citing inadequate supply of appropriate laser diodes because of insufficient yields as well as necessity to match 16x DVD burners with 16x DVD+R discs.
