Featured March 2001:
This month we are featuring Xemics, a fabless semiconductor company which develops and
delivers ultra low-power, short-range wireless connectivity solutions.
Their ICs include wireless, bluetooth, and GPS chips; microcontrollers; sensor conditioning ICs;
audio ICs, intellectual property products, development tools, and custom-specific ICs for high
volume applications. We've tried some of their chips, and not only are they neat products, Xemics
provides great product support!
