The California-based OCZ Technology builds its own development
capacities and buy more from the British development department of PLX
Technology. The latter offers among other things, PCI Express (PCIe)
switch chips, but also USB-2.0/3.0- and FireWire-400/800-Bridge-Chips
for external memory - this division had PLX itself until 2008 with the
purchase of Oxford Semiconductor acquired.
Except at the Abingdon, a few miles south of Oxford-based development
team, consisting of approximately 40 engineers, OCZ also has rights to
use system sold PLX Technology Intellectual Property (IP). In March, had
already taken over the OCZ SSD controller Indilinx developers.
The company, founded in 1992 OCZ Technology has long been known for
overclocker memory modules, is this activity but now abandoned and
expanded its manufacturing capacity for solid-state disks heavily. PLX
turn wants to focus more on products for server and network technology,
such as on 10-Gigabit Ethernet PHY chips.
