Sipex

Sipex Corporation, a prominent name in the semiconductor industry, specialized in manufacturing high-performance analog integrated circuits. Established with a focus on innovation, Sipex developed a diverse range of products, including voltage regulators, interface circuits, and optical storage solutions. These products were integral to various applications across consumer electronics, communications, and industrial markets, offering reliable and efficient solutions that met the growing demands of the technology sector.

Sipex's analog integrated circuits were renowned for their precision and performance, providing essential components for power management and signal processing in electronic devices. Their voltage regulators ensured stable power supply, while their interface circuits facilitated seamless communication between different electronic components. Additionally, Sipex’s optical storage products played a crucial role in advancing data storage technologies, supporting the rapid growth of digital media.

In a strategic move, Sipex Corporation was acquired by Exar Corporation, an American semiconductor manufacturer with a rich history dating back to 1971. This acquisition allowed Exar to expand its product portfolio and strengthen its position in the analog and mixed-signal markets. Exar itself was later acquired by MaxLinear in 2017, further integrating Sipex's innovative technologies into a broader range of semiconductor solutions.
