MoSys, Inc. is a USA
company based in California
, that develops serial chip-to-chip communications solutions and system-on-chip (SoC) designs. MoSys designs, develops, markets and licenses its differentiated embedded memory and high-speed parallel and serial interface (I/O) intellectual property
(IP) to fabless semiconductor companies, integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) and foundries that incorporate, or embed, its IP on complex integrated circuits, such as SoCs for applications in the network, consumer/graphics, computing and storage markets. In 2010, MoSys expanded its business model and market opportunity by to become a fabless semiconductor company
with the development of its new Bandwidth Engine product family.
As of December 2010, MoSys technology has been shipped in over 370 million devices, including home entertainment and graphics applications, mobile consumer devices, and networking and storage equipment. For example, the Nintendo Wii game console uses MoSys 1T-SRAM memory IP.
