From: Ian@SI | 7/12/2007 7:38:25 PM | | | | UPDATE: Third Point Amasses Atmel Stake
SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones) - Third Point LLC, run by hedge fund activist Daniel Loeb, disclosed Thursday it purchased a 7.2% stake in Atmel Corp., a chipmaker that is restructuring its operations.
In late afternoon trading, Atmel shares rose more than 5% to $5.96.
Third Point's stake equates to 35 million shares of Atmel's common stock, according to a Securities and Exchange Commission filing. The hedge fund said it spent $191 million to purchase the stock. It has been an aggressive buyer of the stock since May.
Loeb is known for sending highly critical letters to corporate management.
Third Point is one of a group of activist hedge funds that take large positions in companies and try to force changes by proposing new strategies, negotiating with management, launching proxy battles and even taking control of whole businesses.
In its filing Thursday, Third Point said it has no current plans to do such things at Atmel (ATML) .
This past May, San Jose, Calif.-based Atmel successfully fended off a proxy battle waged by the company's former CEO George Perlegos, who sought to remove the directors who fired him in August 2006. Perlegos had been dismissed for allegedly misusing company funds to pay for personal airline tickets.
Atmel makes a number of different chips used in cell phones, disk drives, car alarms, camcorders and other applications. It's run by Steve Laub, a former private-equity exec. |

From: mlc178 | 3/12/2009 11:23:38 PM | | | | I was just looking over their AVR microcontroller products. They are made at 800 nanometers! It's like the dark ages technology-wise, but sales are growing.
Their popular 8 bit AVR product runs around 20MHz and sells for about $1 each. Sounds like 1990 technology.
Sales have been growing about 20% YoY for 8 bit AVR microcontrollers and 40% yoy for their newer 32 bit AVR products.
The AVR products were designed in Norway. Atmel bought the Norwegian company. |

From: mlc178 | 3/15/2009 7:22:40 PM | | | | Atmel touts the AVR32's compact code size. I see how that is done. The AVR32 is a RISC processor that allows mixing of instructions of different sizes: 16 bit and 32 bit. ARM and MIPS cannot do that - they can go to a mode for 16 bit instructions or a mode for 32 bit instructions, but there is no mode that allows mixing of 16 and 32 bit instructions.
Of course, there are CISC processors that have no restriction on instruction size resulting in compact code size too. |
