Virage Logic Expands in China with Distributor Relationships
Expansion to Better Service Existing Customers and Meet the Increasing Demands of China's Rapidly Growing Fabless Semiconductor Market
FREMONT, Calif, and SHANGHAI, China--March 5, 2007--To better service the company's established China customer base and rapidly growing China fabless semiconductor market, Virage Logic Corporation (NASDAQ:VIRL), the semiconductor industry's trusted IP partner and pioneer in Silicon Aware IP(TM), today announced distributor relationships with Hyperform Technologies and OnePass Solutions. The distributor engagements establish a direct sales and support channel to better service Virage Logic's long standing fabless customers and provide a solid infrastructure to service the rapidly growing China fabless market. Initial sales and support services will be focused at consumer and large, government sponsored companies concentrated in the Beijing, Shenzen and Shanghai technology regions.
"As the semiconductor industry's trusted IP partner to more than 300 companies, we've seen first hand the industry's move to a more specialized, fabless model, and the resulting demand for silicon proven, technical differentiated semiconductor IP," said Brani Buric, senior director of strategic business solutions for Virage Logic. "China represents the most rapidly growing fabless semiconductor market and we look forward to working with regional and technology experts Hyperform and OnePass to best service this important market."
"Virage Logic's broad portfolio of silicon proven IP is ideally suited to meet the cost, density, performance and power requirements of China's chip designers, particularly in the rapidly growing consumer and graphics applications markets," said Jianjun Liu, chief executive officer (CEO) of Hyperform Technologies.
"Virage Logic's highly differentiated IP and award winning support are ideally suited to address the time-to-market and performance requirements of the China design community and we look forward to representing," said Binfeng Wang, chairman of OnePass.
For more than ten years, Virage Logic's silicon proven semiconductor IP has been a preferred choice for designers worldwide. The company's IPrima(R) Foundation semiconductor IP platforms, comprising embedded memories, logic libraries, and I/Os, enable design engineers to expedite the creation of next generation products by addressing the increasingly complex task of identifying and obtaining the semiconductor IP needed to produce successful, on-time products. Virage Logic's products and support services help system-on-chip (SoC) designers meet critical design requirements including reducing design time, silicon area, and design risks, while boosting performance and enhancing manufacturing yields.
