Strategies about Logic LSI (advanced ASIC) business

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation announced measures to stabilize its System LSI business and strengthen its resilience to market fluctuations in May 2019, toward further concentrating on focus areas and accelerating business transformation.

The company will now withdraw from future development of Logic LSIs (advanced ASICs), as a means to further strengthen development capabilities in focus products. The only exception is products for the automotive market, a long-standing focus area in its own right. The company is also committed to continue its support for customers with which it already has business relations.

Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation is shifting development resources from the Logic LSI business to three focus areas: automotive digital LSIs, microcontrollers, and analog ICs. This move will allow the company to further reinforce focus businesses and to stabilize the System LSI business.
