Alchip Technologies, Limited opened a new design center in October in Malaysia.  The new center came on line to meet the exploding global demand for the company?s high-performance ASIC services. The Malaysia design center is the latest addition to Alchip?s on-going global expansion that, last year, included the opening of a significantly upgraded North America presence. The Malaysia design center is expected to house 30 engineers by the end of the year, with that number increasing to meet expected customer demand.
