NetLogic Microsystems Inc. announced that its Au1300(R) Processor, the latest member of its ultra low-power Alchemy(R) processor family, has been selected by LG Electronics for LG's high-performance automotive infotainment solutions. NetLogic Microsystems' Alchemy processor family delivers the powerful processing performance, robust connected media acceleration and ultra low-power functionality required for intelligent next-generation connected automotive infotainment, audio/video navigation (AVN), heads-up display (HUD) and telematics systems. The LG infotainment solutions that incorporate the NetLogic Microsystems Au1300 processor feature a 7-inch WVGA LCD display, voice recognition, rear camera functionality, advanced navigation capabilities and rich media playback. These market-leading solutions integrate Bluetooth, iPOD interface, USB2.0 and AM/FM radio functionality. LG Electronics has successfully introduced these infotainment solutions in mass production to LG's Tier One customers in October 2009. NetLogic Microsystems' low-power Au1300 processor offers a high-performance 5-stage pipeline architecture running at 800MHz, and integrates a high-definition video processor and a 3-dimensional graphics processor in a cost-effective 537-pin BGA package with 0.65 or 0.8mm ball pitches. The Au1300 Processor also includes a best-in-class LCD controller with four graphics planes for 32-bit (ALPHA)RGB, and a Media Acceleration Engine(TM) (MAE) for H.264, MPEG 1/2/4, DivX, XviD, WMV9 and VC-1 hardware acceleration.

Third quarter 2009 net loss, determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), was $3.9 million or $0.17 per diluted share. By comparison, GAAP net income was $1.3 million or $0.06 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008. GAAP net loss included stock-based compensation expense, the amortization of intangible assets, fair value inventory adjustments, acquisition-related costs, and interest income on a $15.0 million bridge loan to RMI Corporation. Excluding these items, non-GAAP net income for the third quarter of 2009 was $11.0 million or $0.45 per diluted share, compared with $0.42 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2008. The company reported loss from operations of $4.436 million, loss before income taxes of $4.632 million compared to the income from operations of $685,000, income before income taxes of $1.088 million for the same period a year ago. For nine months, the company reported loss from operations of $10.957 million, loss before income taxes of $10.734 million and net loss of $9.926 million or $0.45 per diluted share on revenue of $105.165 million compared to the income from operations of $2.771million, income before income taxes of $3.919 million and net income of $4.715 million or $0.21 per diluted share on revenue of $109.034 million for the same period a year ago. The company reported non-GAAP net income of $26.127 million or $1.09 per diluted share compared to the non-GAAP net income of $27.670 million or $1.20 per diluted share for the same period a year ago.

NetLogic Microsystems Inc. announced the production availability of the NLP1220 dual-port 8.5Gbps FibreChannel PHY repeater device with an integrated low-power equalization engine. The NLP1220 offers best-in-class power consumption and latency to customers developing next-generation data center switches and storage Host Bus Adapters (HBAs). The NLP1220 PHY device offers superior transmit and receive jitter performance as a result of the integrated high-performance LC phase locked loop circuit and an advanced second-order clock-and-data recovery (CDR) design. Moreover, NetLogic Microsystems' unique granular power-down modes for the transmit, receive and equalizer circuitry, combined with an innovative analog/digital hybrid architecture, provide customers with industry-leading low power and low latency profiles, making it ideal for high-density data center applications. As the industry's first dual-port Fibre Channel repeater with 2/4/8G capability as well as the first device with a dual-receiver analog front end, NetLogic Microsystems' NLP1220 PHY device integrates the receiver and transmitter SerDes functions on a single chip with on-chip clock drivers, multiple loop-back features and PBRS generation and verification for both the line side and system side. The integrated low-power equalization engine doubles the reach of FibreChannel signals on PCB traces and cables, supporting up to 15 meters on 24/26 AWG cables and up to 10 meters on 30 AWG cables.
