Amphion
Replacing the long and rather bland Integrated Silicon Systems, our name Amphion (now part of Conexant) responds to the client's desire for a stronger, more trailblazing name. Amphion, a son of Zeus, used his lyre to charm blocks of stone into a circle around the city of Thebes, an apt metaphor for this maker of innovative speech, video, and data processing application specific virtual components for system-on-a-chip designs.
