Synaptics Incorporated
 PROFILE
Synaptics wants you to get in touch -- with your notebook. The company designs and sells interfaces for portable electronic devices including notebook computers, personal digital assistants, and Web-enabled phones. Its TouchPad and TouchStyk systems control a computer's cursor, much like a mouse does for desktop PCs. Its QuickStroke software recognizes Chinese characters that are written with a computerized pen. Synaptics outsources its manufacturing. Primary customers include major Taiwanese notebook computer makers Quanta (nearly 25% of sales), Inventec (about 15%), and Compal (about 10%); and cell phone maker Arima (about 15% of sales). National Semiconductor owns 15% of Synaptics.
