QBit Semiconductor is a semiconductor company focused on system-on-chip (SOC) integrated circuits for imaging devices and other edge devices.[1] QBit is headquartered in Taipei, Taiwan and has an R&D center near Boston, Massachusetts.[2]
History[edit]
QBit was formed in 2016 with an initial investment of NT$160 Million, approximately US$5.3 Million. The investment was made by New Kinpo Group (NKG), a major Taiwan-based electronic manufacturing services (EMS) company.[3] NKG operates worldwide and is the world's eighth largest EMS company.[4]
QBit's history goes back to the 1990's, when Oak Technology acquired three Boston-area start-ups, Pixel Magic, Xionics and XLi to form a printer technology business unit.[5] Oak Technology was aquired by Zoran Corporation in 2003[6], which merged with CSR plc in 2013[7]. The QBit team came from the embedded print technology business that was merged into Qualcomm Incorporated when Qualcomm acquired CSR plc in 2015[1]. As part of CSR, the QBit team developed the low-end Quatro 5300 SOC series and the high-end Quatro 5500 SOC series.[1]
In 2017, QBit had 25 engineers in Taipei and 15 engineers in Littleton, Massachusetts.[1]
