Development History of ADI




Analog Devices, Inc. is one of the semiconductor companies with the longest history in the world.

The company was founded in 1965 by Ray Stata and Matthew Lorber, and to this day, Stata still serves as the company's chairman. Jerald G. Fishman is currently the CEO and president, while Stata is the chairman. In 2006, Analog Devices, Inc. revealed to the press that it was collaborating with Nintendo to develop controllers for Nintendo's new game console, the Wii, which incorporated ADI's ADXL330 3-axis linear accelerometer. Analog Devices, Inc. also partnered with Source Audio LLC to manufacture DSP and motion sensors for the action-controlled guitar effects device, HotHand.

In January 2008, ON Semiconductor completed the acquisition of Analog Devices, Inc.'s Voltage Regulation and Thermal Management division for $184 million. In July 2008, Analog Devices, Inc. announced its withdrawal from the sound card market, stating that as the space in the personal computer audio market was shrinking and profits were declining, the company would focus on other markets. Additionally, the drivers for previous products would continue to be updated.

On July 28, 2015, Analog Devices, Inc. acquired Linear Technology for $14.8 billion by offering $46 in cash plus 0.2321 shares of Analog Devices stock in exchange for 1 share of Linear Technology stock, equivalent to $60 per share.


 

ADI's Continued Expansion for the Future




Front-End Operations
ADI is expanding the production capacity of its internal and external wafer fabs. Through internal investments, the production in the United States and Europe will double by the end of 2025.
In Beaverton, Oregon, ADI has increased the cleanroom area by 25,000 square feet, doubling its production capacity and transforming it into a complete 8-inch wafer fab. In Limerick, Ireland, ADI has expanded the production area by 15,000 square feet, tripling its production capacity. In Camas, Washington, investments are also being made to double its production capacity.

Back-End Operations
Most of the testing of ADI products is conducted in factories in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Thailand, and the assembly business is outsourced to trusted partners. To enhance the resilience of ADI's large-scale operations in the Philippines, it is expanding its testing facilities in Malaysia and Thailand and has been carrying out campus expansions in the Philippines for several years to expand office space, which is expected to add 2,000 employees and more engineering and technical capabilities. In addition, ADI is cross-validating testing processes with external partners to ensure dual sourcing when needed.
