Qualcomm announced it has agreed to acquire substantially
all of the assets of Rapid Bridge LLC, a San Diego-based inventor of advanced
techniques for the design and development of semiconductor products. The
company’s technology reduces complexity in integrated circuit (IC) development
at advanced technology nodes to enable greater design flexibility and optimized
die size and power consumption.
Rapid Bridge’s San Diego design team and San
Diego/Bangalore engineering services operations will be integrated into
Qualcomm CDMA Technologies. The
asset acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approval and fulfillment of
certain terms and conditions, is expected to close by the end of fiscal year
2011.
