Company Performance Metrics
TransChip designs advanced CMOS imagers for mobile phones and other portable devices. TransChip's core technology includes advanced image capture, color processing and image compression in a single-chip camera module. TransChip's vision is to become the leading provider of imagers for mobile phones by delivering a complete, programmable
camera solution with superior image quality.
TransChip is the first company in the world to demonstrate a CMOS imager with integrated digital image signal processing and JPEG compression. A complete shrink-wrap solution results in lower product cost, simpler integration, and reduced power consumption when compared to competing multi-chip solutions.
In addition, TransChip's superior image quality is achieved through the use of proprietary CMOS sensor architecture and advanced color-processing algorithms. TransChip's solution eliminates the need for the high processing power required for image capture and preview, and guarantees built-in functionality that many competing technologies and solutions cannot deliver.
TransChip's innovative design has been optimized for the handset system by allowing streaming video to be fed directly from the imager to the LCD. This leads to significant reductions in the baseband MIPS budget and memory access requirements, and opens up the possibility of providing low-end and mid-range phones with true video capability.
TransChip has excellent design and management teams with proven performance records. In addition, it has a board of directors which includes some of the leading industry experts, such as Mr. Ray Stata, the founder and Chairman of Analog Devices, and Prof. Andrew Viterbi, the founder of Qualcomm.
