Conexant Systems, Inc. is an American-based software developer and fabless semiconductor company. A subsidiary of Synaptics, Inc., they provide products for voice and audio processing, imaging and modems. The company began as a division of Rockwell International, before being spun off as a public company. Conexant itself then spun off several business units, creating independent public companies which included Skyworks Solutions and Mindspeed Technologies.
Internally, Conexant's broadband communications business and Mindspeed have been operating separately, and as a result of last quarter's $215 million early debt repayment from Skyworks Solutions, we have the flexibility and the capital required to provide solid financial foundations for both of these independent companies.
