Octavo Systems was founded in 2013 by three senior semiconductor technology leaders, all of whom had been associated with Texas Instruments.They founded Octavo on the observation that Moore's law applies to the size of semiconductor components rather than to systems. As semiconductor designers continue to push the boundaries of size, power, and performance it is becoming exorbitantly expensive to integrate all of the system functions into a single semiconductor substrate. Major semiconductor manufacturers have been aware of this for some time and have instead packaged multiple die with different functions into a single package to meet their requirements.Unfortunately, this ability has only been accessible to the largest customers or to very specific products in high-priced applications.
