ASIX Electronics Corporation (Taiwan, China)

Electronics Co., Ltd. was established at 12th May 1995. In August 1997, PCIBUS high-speed Ethernet control chip was certified by Novell, and then the product began mass production. In July 1998, the company launched the control chips of 5-port and 8 port 10/100M network concentrator. In August, the second generation control chip of high-speed Ethernet concentrator started mass production. In December 1998, the company launched the control chip of 10/100MPCMCIA. In June 1999, it pushed off the switch chip of supporting 5-port 10/100M, then the third generation chip of supporting 10/100M in September. In December the PCMCIA control chip with RAM came into market. In August 2000, the company launched three-in-one chip of PCMCIA and LocalBUSMAC. In October, a new factory was completed and the company moved in. In June 2001, Asix pushed off the network control chip of supporting USB1.1, and obtained ISO-9000: 2000 quality management system certification.
