- editor's note:- in December 2008 -
PLX Technology announced
a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outstanding shares of capital
stock of Oxford Semiconductor, Inc.
Established in 1992, Oxford
Semiconductor has been providing reliable, high-performance silicon and software
solutions to interconnect digital systems, including PCIe, USB, FireWire,
Ethernet, SATA and eSATA. Oxford's unaudited revenues for the first 9 months of
2008 were $29 million.
Oxford's corporate headquarters are located in
Milpitas, California, with most of its employees based in Oxford's design center
in Abingdon, United Kingdom.
In October 2011
OCZ agreed to acquire
the UK Design
Team (approximately 40 engineers located in Abingdon) and certain assets
from PLX Technology which
will enable OCZ to accelerate the development of its next generation of fast
SSDs - while also reducing development costs. I learned later that this core
technology group was based on PLX's acquisition of
Oxford Semiconductor
in 2008.
