Micro Magic Inc. was a US-based ASIC company that was acquired by Juniper Networks in 2000 for US$ 260 million in stocks and cash.[1][2]
Micro Magic was founded in January of 1995. The founders worked together at SUN Microsystems. While at SUN they worked on several projects including a 900ps 16Kbyte cache SRAM, the SPARC V9 architecture definition, and led a team to develop a 300MHz SPARC Microprocessor. The rest of the core design team consists of senior designers from companies like HP, SGI, and DEC. Most have Ph.D.'s from Stanford, Berkeley, and MIT and average almost 20 years of industry experience.
After only five years, their strong engineering portfolio led to Micro Magic Inc. being acquired in December 2000 for $260 million. Then in May of 2004 the founders of Micro Magic restarted the company.
