WIZnet Inc., based in Korea, is a privately held fabless semiconductor company, founded in 1998. Its US subsidiary, iinChip Inc. was incorporated in 2000 in Palo Alto, CA.

WIZnet is a unique hardwired Internet connectivity solution provider. WIZnet's core technology, TOP(TCP/IP Offload Platform), is market-proven ASSP and silicon-proven IP for custom ASIC, which best fits OS-less device and is compatible with any Embedded OS. TOP is a fully hardwired TCP/IP algorithm, which guarantees line speed by on-the-fly processing architecture that is independent of CPU. TOP eliminates CPU overhead by offloading TCP/IP processing and hence enhances overall system performance especially in multimedia streaming applications.

TOP ASSP has been adopted worldwide both in OS-less devices including DVR, MP3, Remote Control and OS-based devices including STB and DTV. It provides higher performance and stability than software internet connectivity solutions.

WIZnet produces various chip-oriented application modules and evaluation boards as well as fully hardwired TCP/IP chip. WIZnet works with many high quality Resellers and Distributors around the world to provide its international customers with the best service possible.
