TranSwitch Corp., a semiconductor company that was known for SONET, but recently moved into passive optical networking, had agreed to acquire Centillium Communications, a fellow chip maker that was known primarily for DSL and VoIP products, but recently has been able to capitalize on the PON market. The $42.8 million cash deal also unites two companies that have more in common than recent PON moves; Light Reading reports that neither company has had a profitable year among the last eight years, and a story at EETimes described the firms as "somewhat struggling." Still, TranSwitch said the combined company will aim for profitability by the first quarter of 2009. The buyout comes several months after Centillium sold its DSL chip business to Ikanos Communications, a move that it said at the time would allow it to focus on optical and VoIP efforts. Since then, Centillium has made progress in the PON market, having won an Ethernet PON deal with NTT. Meanwhile, TranSwitch's PON efforts have been focused on Gigabit PON.

By Scott Moritz Tech investors were rattled after Nvidia ( NVDA ) set off a big alarm. The graphic chip supplier to the PC industry on Wednesday?? slashed its second-quarter sales forecast to about $912 million, 17% below analysts’ estimates. It also said??it would take a $150 million to $200 million charge to cover replacement costs of defective chips. The warning sent Nvidia shares down 31% Thursday and added more pressure to the Nasdaq, which fell 2%, and is now down more than 9% in the past month. But some analysts??think??investors overreacted by sending tech stocks down on Nvidia’s warning.??The company’s problems appear to be specific to Nvidia. “While the company attributed a portion of the miss to global end market weakness, our checks indicate component demand from other chip companies touching the PC end market is stable,” JPMorgan analyst Shawn Webster wrote in a report Wednesday. No.2 rival AMD ( AMD ), which fell 1% Thursday, likely saw solid demand for graphics chips and probably took some of Nvidia’ business in the quarter,??analysts says. Webster downgraded the stock to neutral from buy after concluding that many of Nvidia’s problems??are company-specific. He says Nvidia started??the quarter with??a pile of excess graphics chips. This surplus was compounded by increased competition as rivals took market share and capitalized on a shift among computer makers from separate graphics cards??to integrated-graphics chips. Nv ...
