TI ships 10 millionth DSP to Maxtor

Texas Instruments has shipped its 10 millionth customizable Digital Signal Processor (cDSP) to Maxtor Corp, which develops, manufactures and markets high-performance information storage products for desktop computer systems.

The two companies have worked together since 1994 to develop DSP architec-tures, resulting in significantly reduced IC component counts and improvements in the quality, reliability and cost-effectiveness of Maxtor's storage products. All Maxtor products introduced since late 1996 have shipped with TI cDSPs, and Maxtor is TI's fastest-growing DSP Solutions customer.

TI's Storage Products provides advanced semiconductors for high-performance, desktop and mobile hard disk drives and removable drives. Its industry-leading read channels and DSP solutions are complemented by its servo/spindle, interface, preamp and ASIC solutions. These solutions are designed and manufactured for hard disk drives, tape drives, high-density floppy disk drives, optical disk drives and digital video disk products.

Maxtor is a subsidiary of Hyundai Electronics America with headquarters in Milpitas, Calif.
