[A83] Re: Zilog Going Down.


I haven't read anything about this event, but filing chapter 11 bankrupcy
does not mean that you are going out of business.  It simply means that you
are aquiring debt too quickly for you to handle, and this basicly stops that
debt (of course you still have to pay a lot of it).  So, as long as
everything goes ok in court and Zilog can still turn a profit, they should
be fine.

Well, from reading the article it seems like it might not affect it too
much - as in Zilog will still be continue. From the EE Times:

"...The next likely move by Zilog is a filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy
protection under US accounting regulations. The filing, which depends on the
formalising of the bondholder deal, will still allow Zilog to continue
trading with customers..."

Interestingly:

"...The fall was blamed on a disasterous diversification away from Zilog's
core microprocessor and microcontroller lines..."
