Maxim Integrated Products

Corporate Mission Maxim's mission is to continuously invent high-quality analog engineering solutions that add value to our customers' microprocessor-based electronics Worldwide. We have consistently increased our stockholders' equity by meeting our cost and performance goals, minimizing time-to-market, and maximizing our engineering productivity.

What We Do Established in 1983, Maxim Integrated Products is a worldwide leader in design, development, and manufacture of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits (ICs). Maxim circuits "connect" the real world and digital world by detecting, measuring, amplifying, and converting real-world signals, such as temperature, pressure, or sound, into the digital signals necessary for computer processing.

Products and Applications Our products include data converters, interface circuits, microprocessor supervisors, operational amplifiers, power supplies, multiplexers, switches, battery chargers, battery management circuits, RF wireless circuits, fiber optic transceivers, sensors, and voltage references. Maxim markets approximately 5,000 analog ICs — more than any other company in our industry. Our products are used in a wide variety of microprocessor-based electronics equipment, including personal computers and peripherals, process control, instrumentation, test equipment, handheld devices, wireless and fiber communications, and video displays.

Business Information Net revenues were $1.439 billion for the year ended June 26, 2004. The Company has over 7,500 employees. Our headquarters is in Sunnyvale, California, and we have facilities in San Jose, California; Dallas and San Antonio, Texas; Beaverton, Oregon; Cavite, the Philippines; Chonburi Province, Thailand; and other locations worldwide. Maxim stock is listed as MXIM on the NASDAQ exchange.
