Microsemi Corporation

Microsemi Corporation, a Microchip Technology subsidiary, is a manufacturer of semiconductors and system products. Based in Aliso Viejo, California, the firm began its operations in 1959. The vendor’s parent company has a footprint that extends into the Asia Pacific region, Europe, Middle East, Africa, Canada, and the United States. Microsemi’s products have applications in the automotive, industrial, commercial aviation, medical, telecom, defense, data center, space, education, retail, financial services, public utility, healthcare, government, and transportation industries. The firm’s lineup includes field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), timing and synchronization offerings, power management products, radio frequency solutions, system-on-a-chips (SoCs), power-over-Ethernet integrated circuits (ICs), and radiation-hardened analog and mixed-signal ICs. Microsemi built a reputation for putting out quality products and blazing new trails from its first years in business. In the mid-60s, the company had secured its first defense contracts and considered the potential of molecular chip packaging. The firm kept to its principles and grew from a promising startup into a leading corporation. By the early ‘80s, it pulled in nearly $50 million in revenue annually. In the following decade, Microsemi expanded its presence in resources by acquiring a host of other businesses. By doing so, it significantly expanded its portfolio and significantly built out its production capacity. The firm’s growth continued into the new century, and it became a Microchip subsidiary in 2018. The company’s devotion to quality and pioneering drive is still evident in its latest product releases. Microsemi’s PolarFlare FPGAs combine forward-thinking design attributes with best-in-class performance. The cost-optimized line features process and architecture optimization for 100k and 500k logic element devices. Moreover, the product family provides 50 percent lower power consumption compared to 20nm SRAM FGPA offerings. Microsemi will continue providing customers with outstanding components with innovative features just as it has for the last 60+ years.
