Founded in 1979, Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) designs, develops, manufactures and markets high-performance, high bandwidth silicon connectivity for the world's communications infrastructure. The company utilizes a combination of high-frequency, mixed-signal design expertise, higher layer digital content and multiple silicon process technologies to offer integrated circuit products for the data and telecommunications markets, with a strong focus on SONET/SDH, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet and Fibre Channel solutions. With the Company's acquisition of Cimaron Communications in March 1999, AMCC is positioned to provide industry-leading, fiber-to-switch silicon solutions, including framers, mappers, PMD and physical layer devices. AMCC's core technologies also address automated test equipment (ATE), high-speed computing and military markets.

Founded in Bend, Oregon in 1984, Advanced Power Technology (APT) developed a new concept for designing and fabricating high voltage high power MOSFETs. By 1987 APT's team of engineers had perfected and patented the new technology, Power MOS IV, a single, open cell structure using an aluminum gate over polysilicon versus the conventional closed cell polysilicon gate structure. Power MOS IV made it possible for APT to fabricate the world's lowest on-resistance, highest power, and largest MOSFET die commercially available for high power high speed switching applications. APT continues to improve its MOSFET products by utilizing newer generations of POWER MOS Technology enabling continued improvements in on-resistance and switching speed to reduce overall power conversion system losses and provide improved efficiencies. In November 1993, APT acquired Power Compact, Merignac, France, a manufacturer of Application Specific Power Modules (ASPM). This acquisition enabled APT to combine its high power silicon technology with Power Compact's unique expertise in integrating power, supervisory, protection and control circuitry into custom ASPM solutions. This provides end-users with cost effective solutions to meet their specific application needs and allow for significant system size reductions and performance enhancements compared to discrete solutions.
