=============================================================================


PRINCIPAL AMOUNT:  $3,000,000.00         INITIAL RATE:  6.000%   DATE OF
NOTE:  SEPTEMBER 13, 1993

PROMISE TO PAY.  CHIPS AND TECHNOLOGIES, INC.  ("Borrower") promises  to  pay
Silicon  Valley  Bank  ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money  of  the  United
States  of  America, the principal amount of Three Million &  00/100  Dollars
($3,000,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with  interest  on
the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance.  Interest shall  be
calculated from the date off each advance until repayment of each advance.

PAYMENT.   Borrower  will  pay this loan in one payment  of  all  outstanding
principal  plus all accrued unpaid interest on October 5, 1994.  In addition,
Borrower  will  pay  regular  monthly payments  of  accrued  unpaid  interest
beginning  October 5, 1993, and all subsequent interest payments are  due  on
the same day of each month after that.  Interest on this note is computed  on
a 365/360 simple interest basis; that is, by applying the ratio of the annual
interest  rate  over  a  year  of 360 days, times the  outstanding  principal
balance,   times  the  actual  number  of  days  the  principal  balance   is
outstanding.  Borrower will pay Lender at Lender's address shown above or  at
such other place as Lender may designate in writing.  Unless otherwise agreed
or  required  by  applicable law, payments will be applied first  to  accrued
unpaid  interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to  any  unpaid
collection costs and late charges.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  The interest rate on this Note is subject to  change
from  time to time based on changes in an index which is Lender's Prime  Rate
(the  "Index").  This is the rate Lender charges, or would charge, on  90-day
unsecured loans to the most creditworthy corporate customers.  This rate  may
or  may  not  be  the lowest rate available from Lender at  any  given  time.
Lender  will  tell  Borrower the current Index rate upon Borrower's  request.
Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.
The  interest rate change will not occur more often than each time the  prime
rate  is adjusted by Silicon Valley Bank.  The Index currently is 6.000%  per
annum.   the  interest rate to be applied to the unpaid principal balance  of
this  Note will be at a rate equal to the Index, resulting in an initial rate
of  6.000% per annum.  NOTICE:  Under no circumstances will the interest rate
on this Note be more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT.  Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the  amount
owed  earlier than it is due.  Early payments will not, unless agreed  to  by
Lender  in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue  to
make  payments  under  the payment schedule.  Rather, they  will  reduce  the
principal balance due and may result in the Borrower's making fewer payments.

DEFAULT.   Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens:   (a)
Borrower  fails  to  make  any payment when due.  (b)   Borrower  breaks  any
promise Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to perform promptly at
the  time  and strictly in the manner provided in this Note or any  agreement
related  to  this Note, or in any other agreement or loan Borrower  has  with
Lender.  (c)  Any representation or statement made or furnished to Lender  by
Borrower  or  on  Borrower's behalf is false or misleading  in  any  material
respect.   (d)  Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed  for  any
part of Borrower's property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit  of
creditors,  or  any  proceeding is commenced either by  Borrower  or  against
Borrower under any bankruptcy or insolvency laws.  (e)  Any creditor tries to
take  any of Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or security
interest.   This  includes a garnishment of any of Borrower's  accounts  with
Lender.  (f)  Any of the events described in this default section occurs with
respect to any guarantor of this Note.

LENDER'S  RIGHTS.   Upon  default,  Lender  may  declare  the  entire  unpaid
principal  balance  on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest  immediately
due,  without notice, and then Borrower will pay the amount.  Upon Borrower's
failure  to pay all amounts declared due pursuant to this section,  including
failure  to  pay upon maturity, Lender at its option, may also, if  permitted
under  applicable  law, do one or both of the following:  (a)   Increase  the
variable  interest  rate  on this Note to 5.000 percentage  points  over  the
Index, and (b) add any unpaid accrued interest to principal and such sum will
bear  interest  therefrom  until  paid at the  rate  provided  in  this  Note
(including any increased rate).  Lender may hire or pay someone else to  help
collect  this Note if Borrower does not pay.  Borrower also will  pay  Lender
that  amount.   This  includes, subject to any limits under  applicable  law,
Lenders' attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there  is
a  lawsuit,  including  attorneys' fees and  legal  expenses  for  bankruptcy
proceedings  (including efforts to modify or vacate  any  automatic  stay  or
injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgment collection  services.
Borrower  also  will  pay  any court costs, in addition  to  all  other  sums
provided  by  law.  This Note has been delivered to Lender  and  accepted  by
Lender  in  the State of California.  If there is a lawsuit, Borrower  agrees
upon  Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts  of  Santa
Clara  County, the State of California.  This Note shall be governed  by  and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

LINE  OF  CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit.   Advances
under  this Note, as well as directions for payment from Borrower's accounts,
may be requested orally or in writing by Borrower or by an authorized person.
Lender  may,  but  need not, require that all oral requests be  confirmed  in
writing.   Borrower agrees to be liable for al sums either:  (a) advanced  in
accordance  with the instructions of an authorized person or (b) credited  to
any  Borrower's accounts with Lender.  The unpaid principal balance owing  on
this  Note  at any time may be evidenced by endorsements on this note  or  by
Lenders  internal records, including daily computer print-outs.  Lender  will
have no obligation to advance funds under this Note if:  (a) Borrower or  any
guarantor  is  in default under the terms of this Note or any agreement  that
Borrower  or any guarantor has with Lender, including any agreement  made  in
connection  with  the  signing of this Note; (b) Borrower  or  any  guarantor
ceases  doing  business or is insolvent; (c) any guarantor seeks,  claims  or
otherwise  attempts to limit, modify or revoke such guarantor's guarantee  of
this  Note  or any other loan with Lender; or (d) Borrower has applied  funds
provided  pursuant to this Note for purposes other than those  authorized  by
Lender.

REQUEST  TO  DEBIT  ACCOUNTS.   Borrower will  regularly  deposit  all  funds
received  from its business activities in accounts maintained by Borrower  at
SILICON VALLEY BANK.  Borrower hereby requests and authorizes Lender to debit
any  of  Borrower's  accounts with Lender, specifically, without  limitation,
Account  Number ________________, for payments of interest and principal  due
on  the  loan and any other obligations owing by Borrower to Lender.   Lender
will  notify  Borrower  of all debits which Lender makes  against  Borrower's
accounts.   Any such debits against Borrower's accounts in no  way  shall  be
deemed a setoff.

BUSINESS  LOAN AGREEMENT.  This note is subject to and shall be  governed  by
all  the  terms  and  conditions  of the Loan and  Security  Agreement  dated
December 19, 1991, as amended from time to time, between Lender and Borrower,
which Loan and Security Agreement is incorporated herein by referenced.

ADDITIONAL  PROVISIONS.  This Promissory Note evidences a  Letter  of  Credit
facility.   Accordingly, advances under this Note shall be used for  issuance
of Letters of Credit.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.  Lender may delay or forgo enforcing any of its rights or
remedies under this Note without losing them.  Borrower and any other  person
who  signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed  by  law,
waive any applicable statute of limitations, presentment, demand for payment,
protest  and notice of dishonor.  Upon any change in the terms of this  Note,
and  unless  otherwise expressly stated in writing, no party who  signs  this
Note, whether as maker, guarantor, accommodation maker or endorser, shall  be
released  from liability.  All such parties agree that Lender  may  renew  or
extend  (repeatedly  and for any length of time) this loan,  or  release  any
party  or guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect
Lender's  security  interest in the collateral; and take  any  action  deemed
necessary  by  Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone.   All  such
parties also agree that Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or
notice to anyone other than the party with whom the modification is made.

PRIOR  TO  SIGNING THIS NOTE, BORROWER READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE PROVISIONS
OF  THIS  NOTE,  INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE  PROVISIONS.   BORROWER

     of all loans, liens, encumbrances, and claims except as disclosed to and
     accepted by Lender in writing.

     and  authority to enter into this Agreement and to assign the Collateral
     to Lender.
     NO  FURTHER  TRANSFER.   Grantor will not  sell,  assign,  encumber,  or
     otherwise dispose of any of Grantor's rights in the Collateral except as
     provided in this Agreement.
     NO  DEFAULTS.   There  are no defaults relating to the  Collateral,  and
     there  are  no  offsets  or counterclaims to  the  same.   Grantor  will
     strictly and promptly do everything required of Grantor under the terms,
     conditions,  promises, and agreements contained in or  relating  to  the
     Collateral.

     received  by  Grantor  shall  be  held  by  Grantor  under  the   terms,
     conditions,  promises, and agreements contained in or  relating  to  the

the  Collateral, (b) for the preservation of rights against  issuers  of  the

     forfeiture  proceedings,  whether  by  judicial  proceeding,  self-help,
     repossession or any other method, by any creditor of Grantor or  by  any
     governmental  agency  against the Collateral  or  any  other  collateral
     securing the Indebtedness.  This includes a garnishment of any Grantor's
     deposit accounts with Lender.
     EVENTS  AFFECTING  GUARANTOR.  Any of the preceding events  occurs  with
     respect  to  any Guarantor of any of the Indebtedness or such  Guarantor
     dies or becomes incompetent.
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES ON DEFAULT.  Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default,
or  at  any  time  thereafter, Lender may exercise any one  or  more  of  the
following rights and remedies, in addition to any rights or remedies that may
be available at law, in equity, or otherwise:
     ACCELERATE INDEBTEDNESS.  Lender may declare all Indebtedness of Grantor
     to  Lender  immediately due and payable, without notice of any  kind  to
     Guarantor.
     APPLICATION  OF ACCOUNT PROCEEDS.  Lender may obtain all  funds  in  the
     Account  from  the  Issuer  of  the  Account  and  apply  them  to   the
     Indebtedness  in the same manner as if the Account had  been  issued  by
     Lender.   If the Account is subject to an early withdrawl penalty,  that
     penalty shall be deducted from the Account before its application to the
     Indebtedness,  whether  the  Account  is  with  Lender  or  some   other
     institution.   Any  excess  funds remaining  after  application  of  the
     Account  proceeds  to the Indebtedness will be paid to  Grantor  as  the
     interests  of  Grantor  may  appear.   Grantor  agrees,  to  the  extent
     permitted  by  law,  to  pay  any deficiency after  application  of  the
     proceeds of the Account to the Indebtedness.  Lender also shall have all
     the  rights  of a secured party under the California Uniform  Commercial
     Code,  even  if  the  Account  is not otherwise  subject  to  such  code
     concerning  security interests, and the parties to this Agreement  agree
     that  the provisions of the code giving rights to a secured party  shall
     nonetheless be a part of this Agreement.
     COLLECT  THE COLLATERAL.  Lender may collect any of the Collateral  and,
     at  Lender's option and to the extent permitted by applicable  law,  may
     retain possession of the Collateral while suing on the Indebtedness.
     SELL  THE  COLLATERAL.   Lender  may sell the  Collateral,  at  Lender's
     discretion,  as a unit or in parcels, at one or more public  or  private
     sales.   Unless  the  Collateral is perishable or threatens  to  decline
     speedily in value, Lender shall give or mail to Grantor, or any of them,
     notice at least ten (10) days in advance of the time and place of public
     sale,  or  of  the date after which private sale may be  made.   Grantor
     agrees that any requirement of days in advance of the time and place  of
     public  sale,  or  of the date after which private  sale  may  be  made.
     Grantor  agrees that any requirements of reasonable notice is  satisfied
     if  Lender mails notice by ordinary mail addressed to Grantor, or any of
     them,  at  the  last address Grantor has given Lender  in  writing.   If
     public  sale  is  held, there shall be sufficient  compliance  with  all
     requirements  of  notice to the public by a single  publication  in  any
     newspaper  of general circulation in the county where the Collateral  is
     located,  setting  forth  the  time  and  place  of  sale  and  a  brief
     description  of the property to be sold.  Lender may be a  purchaser  at
     any public sale.
     REGISTER  SECURITIES.  Lender may sell any securities  included  in  the
     Collateral  in  a  manner consistent with applicable federal  and  state
     securities  laws, notwithstanding any other provision  of  this  or  any
     other agreement.  If, because of restrictions under such laws, Lender is
     or  believes  it  is  unable to sell the securities in  an  open  market
     transaction, Grantor agrees that (a) Lender shall have no obligation  to
     delay sale until the securities can be registered, (b) Lender may make a
     private  sale  to a single person or restricted group of  persons,  even
     though such sale may result in a price that is less favorable than might
     be  obtained in an open market transaction, and (c) such a sale shall be
     considered   commercially  reasonable.   If  any  securities   held   as
     Collateral  are "restricted securities" as defined in the Rules  of  the
     Securities and Exchange Commission (such as Regulation D or Rule 144) or
     state securities departments under state "Blue Sky" laws, or if Grantor,
     or  any of them (if more than one), is an affiliate of the issuer of the
     securities, Grantor agrees that Grantor will neither sell nor dispose of
     any  securities of such issuer without obtaining Lender's prior  written
     consent.
     TRANSFER TITLE.  Lender may effect transfer of title upon sale of all or
     part  of the Collateral.  For this purpose, Grantor irrevocably appoints
     Lender as its attorney-in-fact to execute endorsements, assignments  and
     instruments  in the name of the Grantor and each of them (if  more  than
     one) as shall be necessary or reasonable.
     APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS.  Lender may apply any cash which is part of the
     Collateral,  or  which is received from the collection or  sale  of  the
     Collateral, to (a) reimbursement of any expenses, including any costs of
     any  securities registration, commissions incurred in connection with  a
     sale,  attorney fees as provided below and court costs, whether  or  not
     there  is a lawsuit and including any fees on appeal, incurred by Lender
     in  connection with the collection and sale of such Collateral, and  (b)
     to the payment of the Indebtedness of Grantor to Lender, with any excess
     funds to be paid to Grantor as the interests of Grantor may appear.
     OTHER  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES.  Lender shall have and may exercise  any  or
     all  of  the  rights  and  remedies of  a  secured  creditor  under  the
     provisions of the California Uniform Commercial Code, at law, in equity,
     or otherwise.
     DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT.  If permitted by applicable law, Lender may  obtain
     a  judgment  for  any  deficiency remaining in the Indebtedness  due  to
     Lender  after application of all amounts received from the  exercise  of
     the rights provided in this section.
     CUMULATIVE  REMEDIES.   All  of Lender's rights  and  remedies,  whether
     evidenced by this Agreement or by any other writing, shall be cumulative
     and may be exercised singularly or concurrently.  Election by Lender  to
     pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and  an
     election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation
     of  Grantor  under this Agreement, after Grantor's failure  to  perform,
     shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its
     remedies.

     specifying  that  the  purpose of the notice is to  change  the  party's
     address.   To the extent permitted by applicable law, if there  is  more
