IC manufacturers with a name starting with 'B'

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.

BlueChip Communication AS is a leading manufacturer of singlechip transceivers suited for LPR-applications. The company has just released its latest range of ultra low-power transceivers specially designed to make battery operated equipment wireless. The transceiver chips are supplied together with optimized reference designs and software for interfacing to host applications. BlueChip's latest development, a one square inch shielded RF module that can be surface mounted, is also available as part of an evaluation kit, and provides the quickest route to a complete LPR design. For customers having specific requirements, BlueChip may also deliver customized chips and solutions.

The company started in 1994 under the name of Gran-Jansen AS, to develop a cost effective integrated solution for local wireless signalling. Through a Joint Venture with the Norwegian PTT R&D Centre "Telenor", the company released the world first Single Chip Frequency hopping Spread Spectrum Transceiver IC in 1997.

In 2000, Gran-Jansen AS formally changed its name to BlueChip Communication AS to better reflect the line of products and geographical scope. BlueChip is today a fab-less semiconductor company based in Oslo, Norway. The company is covering all areas from silicon design to application engineering and design-in aid. Telenor is the major shareholder in the company.

Our vision is to make Local Wireless Networking solutions adapted to the emerging M2M (machine-to-machine) market. Costs, size, integrity and power consumption are the key guidelines for product marketing and development. Extensive development support is emphasised to shorten time to market for the end user.
