TWST: We would like to begin with a brief historical sketch of
Monolithic System Technology and a picture of the things you are doing
at the present time.
Mr. Silvestri: MoSys is a company that participates in the semiconductor
intellectual property industry. We provide the building blocks to chip
developers that are designing complex system-on-chips. These complex
system-on-chips (SoCs) are being used more and more in consumer products
like cell phones, portable multimedia players, digital TV, networking
products and so forth. These complex SoCs are the preferred approach for
building the new generation of consumer products. However, most
companies lack the intellectual property building blocks that are
required to design an SoC with modern functionality. As a result, they
must rely on companies like MoSys to provide the critical elements they
need to incorporate needed functionality. MoSys has always specialized
in developing high-density memories. Today, our memory solutions are
specifically designed to be embedded into system-on-chips. TWST: What is your competition like?
Mr. Silvestri: Today, the only true alternative for putting a lot of
memory on an SoC, is to try to separate the memory into two chips. The
designer will use a separate memory chip and a relatively small amount
of memory on the system-on-chip. But using Mosys technology, the
designer has the ability to put large memories directly on to a single
SoC.
