Conexant is a semiconductor company that, amongst other things, specializes in the design of a number of convergence video products such as Demodulator, MPEG2 Encoder, and A/V Decoder chipsets. Examples of Conexant IC's that are common to DVB and analog devices include the CX24110, CX23416 and CX23880/1/2/3.
Conexant was formed, in 1999, when Rockwell Semiconductor was spun off from its parent company, Rockwell International. For its part, Conexant's convergence video operations can trace their origins to 1996, when the former Rockwell Semiconductor had acquired Brooktree Corporation.
Since 2002, when Conexant spun off its manufacturing facilities into Jazz Semiconductor, the company has become a fabless design house and outsources product production to other semiconductor foundries.
