For the second time in two months, Cirrus Logic Inc. yesterday sharply lowered its earnings estimate for the current quarter. The computer equipment company, based in Fremont, Calif., predicted earnings of 13 cents to 19 cents a share for its third quarter, which ends on Saturday. Analysts had expected earnings of 46 cents a share. In November, Cirrus said operating profits would be as much as 15 percent below those in the second quarter, because a customer cut its order. Yesterday, the company cited reduced demand in Taiwan and in the home PC market for specialty graphics and audio chips. The announcement was made after the markets closed. Earlier, Cirrus shares fell 75 cents, to $26.875, in Nasdaq trading. Yesterday's forecast was for revenue of $290 million to $300 million, a decline from $318 million in the second quarter.

The Mellon Bank Corporation has tentatively agreed to buy the home mortgage unit of Fund American Enterprises Holdings Inc. for about $350 million, people familiar with the agreement said yesterday.

Fund American, which is based in Norwich, Vt., disclosed that it had reached a tentative agreement to sell Source One, its principal business, to "a significant financial institution," and people close to the companies identified the buyer as Mellon, which is based in Pittsburgh. Mellon also was identified as the buyer in an article yesterday in The Wall Street Journal. Officials at Mellon and Source One declined to comment. The acquisition may signal that Mellon is shying away from consideration of a major bank acquisition; it had reportedly been in talks with several companies.
