LANSDALE
Founded in 1964 in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, LANSDALE is a long-standing integrated circuit manufacturer with a rich history of innovation. Initially focusing on germanium transistor production, acquired from Philco Ford, the company rapidly expanded its capabilities. This acquisition laid the foundation for future growth and diversification, eventually leading to the acquisition of Motorola's germanium power transistor line in 1976. This relocation to Arizona signaled a significant step in the company's evolution and strategic expansion.
In 2000, LANSDALE strategically downsized its manufacturing capabilities by selling its wafer fab to Primarion, while retaining foundry services support. This move likely focused the company on its core strengths in design and applications. The acquisition of Philips' bipolar PROM series and other products further broadened LANSDALE's product offerings and expanded its commercial market reach.
LANSDALE's product portfolio now includes a diverse range of integrated circuits, encompassing bipolar digital ICs, digital logic ICs, specialized wireless and RF communication components, and a variety of customized and standard ICs. This breadth of offerings addresses a wide range of applications, including communications, military defense, industrial, healthcare, automotive, and aerospace sectors.
