Microsemi Forms Two New Analog Design Centers

Santa Ana, CA-based Microsemi Corp. is opening design centers in San Jose, CA and San Diego to support development of analog and mixed signal integrated circuits that it plans to manufacture at its recently acquired Linfinity division in Garden Grove, CA.

The San Jose organization will focus on portable electronics components for such applications as mobile phones, PDAs, and portable computing, while the San Diego center will design circuits for medical electronics products including pacemakers, defibrillators, and hearing aids. Both centers are expected to grow and are enlisting additional designers, the company said.
