About Microsemi
Microsemi is an American provider of semiconductor and system solutions for aerospace, defense, communications, data center, and industrial markets. The company was founded in 1959 and incorporated the following year. At this time, Microsemi was a supplier of miniature silicon diodes that were used in beam profile detecting or to measure depth-dose distribution. Microsemi’s first merger occurred in 1969 with Standard Resources Corporation, with the company’s name becoming Standard Resources and Micro semiconductor. From 1986 to 1990, the company acquired more than 60% of the shares of eleven different companies. In 1999, Microsemi had completed the acquisition of Infinity. Microsemi was acquired by Microchip Technology in 2018 for approximately $10 billion.
