These excerpts taken from the AMCC 10-K filed May 12, 2009. Research
and Development
Our research and development expertise and efforts are focused
on the development of high-performance analog, digital and
mixed-signal ICs for the communications and storage markets and
PCBAs. We also develop high-performance libraries and design
methodologies that are optimized for these applications. Our
primary research and development facilities are located in
Sunnyvale and San Diego, California, Austin, Texas and
Andover, Massachusetts in the United States, Ottawa in Canada,
Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam and Pune in India. During the fiscal
years ended March 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, we expended
$84.7 million, $86.1 million and $81.3 million,
respectively, on research and development activities.
Our IC product development is focused on building
high-performance, high-gate-count digital and analog-intensive
designs that are incorporated into well-documented blocks that
can be reused for multiple products. We have made and will
continue to make significant investments in advanced design
tools to leverage our engineering staff. Our product development
is driven by the imperatives of reducing design cycle time,
increasing first-time design correctness, adhering to
disciplined, well documented design processes and continuing to
be responsive to customer needs. We are also developing
high-performance final assembly packages for our products in
collaboration with our packaging suppliers and our customers.
Our PCBA product development efforts are focused on building
advanced telecom computing architecture (“ATCA”)
boards and software for our switch fabric, network processors
and embedded PowerPC processors for the communications market.
Before a new product is developed, our research and development
engineers work with marketing managers and customers to develop
a comprehensive requirements specification. After the product is
designed and commercially released, our engineers continue to
work with customers on early design-in efforts to understand
requirements for future generations and upgrades.
On April 21, 2009, after our 2009 fiscal year, we completed
the sale of our 3ware storage adapter business to LSI
Corporation. See “Subsequent Events” in Part II,
Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Conditions and Results of Operations for more
information.
