Who We Are
images Our original algorithm and architecture development capabilities triumph in the competitive marketplace.

Our competitive edge is based on the company's technological assets and capabilities, which have accumulated since the foundation of MegaChips in 1990. We have consistently emphasized research and the development of algorithms and architecture. Algorithms are logic structures for information processing methodologies and formats, expressed in mathematical equations. Architecture is the theory behind the design of LSI hardware, and a map for implementing algorithms. Both play a pivotal role in enhancing the performance of chips and devices, as well as in determining performance levels and the prices of end products. By developing original, innovative algorithms and architecture, we continue to maintain our competitive edge. We have acquired intellectual property rights and patents on many of our technological achievements.

Being so familiar with systems, we are capable of developing innovative system LSIs that incorporate various advanced technologies.

Many different functions needed for a system to perform are now being incorporated onto a single chip; thus, our system LSIs with advanced system-on-chip technology are critically important to the performance and cost of digital cameras, cellular phones, and other devices and appliances.

As we strive to meet clients’ needs, we excel in the following three capabilities:
1) Our seasoned engineers with expertise in systems and LSIs work directly with clients and propose original solutions.
2) We incessantly develop innovative algorithms and architecture in order to enhance the system performance.
3) We have outstanding intellectual property for digital images, sounds/music, and communication, as well as integration capabilities, both of which are indispensable for developing advanced LSIs in a short time.
