NorthBridge Technology Semiconductor
The trend with the traditional ASSP offerings has been to pack more and more functionality onto a die, with the hope that increasing generalization will expand the customer base and allow the development costs to be amortized more efficiently. The process has the effect of driving the unit IC cost up and typically only a small subset of the functionality is used by any one customer. 
 
NorthBridge Technology Board Level Products
Capitalizing on both semiconductor capability and system design experience, NorthBridge Technology offers a family of PCI, CPCI and PC104+ multifunction boards.
 
NorthBridge's standard board product is suitable for either low or high volume applications. As well, their technology and systems expertise allows NorthBridge to rapidly modify standard product offering for customer specific solutions.
