The company manufactures analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits (ICs) used in electronic equipment. These technologies are used to convert, condition, and process real-world phenomena, such as light, sound, temperature, motion, and pressure into electrical signals. The company has approximately 100,000 customers in the following industries: communications, computer, instrumentation, military/aerospace, automotive, and consumer electronics applications.
The company’s milestones:
1965: The company was founded by two MIT graduates, Ray Stata and Matthew Lorber. The same year, the company released its first product, the model 101 op amp, which was a hockey-puck-sized module used in test and measurement equipment.
1967: The company published the first issue of its technical magazine, Analog Dialogue.
1973: The company was the first to launch laser trim wafers and the first CMOS digital-to-analog converter.
1977: ADI opened its first manufacturing plant outside the United States in Ireland.
1981: ADI established operations in the Philippines, which today is a center of excellence for global test and assembly.
1990: ADI invented Time Gain Amplifier technology, enabling a massive leap forward in the quality of ultrasound images.
1991: ADI releases the AD620 instrumentation amplifier. This device and the derivatives that followed were widely used in many industrial, measurement, data acquisition, and medical applications and are as popular as ever.
1995: ADI launched the website that brought data sheets, application notes, and Analog Dialogue online, 24/7.
2003: XFCB3 was ADI’s first silicon-on-insulator silicon germanium process. This wafer fabrication technology enabled ADI to push analog speed well into the gigahertz range.
2005: NASA’s High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment (HiRISE) incorporated ADI high-performance ADCs to enable the largest, highest-resolution camera ever sent into orbit, yielding images of Mars’ surface that are 20,000 by 40,000 pixels.
2012: ADI continued its leadership in sensor technology with the introduction of the ultralow-power ADXL362 3-axis accelerometer.
2015: ADI announced it is the primary sponsor and founding member of “Solve,” a multi-faceted program organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) that convenes thought leaders, researchers, students, and change agents to identify and implement technology-centered solutions to the most difficult challenges of our times.
2022: Analog Devices showcased its innovative technology and solutions for industrial automation and instrumentation, automotive, healthcare, consumer and communications applications at Electronica 2022.
