Analog Devices in talks to buy Maxim
<< < (4/11) > >>

So many years ago, back in the day so-to-speak, I bought a few shares of Dallas Semiconductor, and ended up owning fewer shares of Maxim. If this goes through, I guess I will end up owning still fewer shares of AD.

I'd really not like to see yet another semiconductor company assimilated by the borg.  We need competition, not megacorps.

The real competition is probably foreign companies (Chinese, particularly?).

21 billion? Finally I can consider Maxim again after mothballing them for over 3 decades. I have been lobbying TI, LT and ADI to buy the f***king turd for decades.

Maxim royally pissed me off in 1991 and I swore I would never consider them ever again,.... until now :clap:

As long as I can still buy the MAX16910 I'll be happy, it's a fantastic little regulator. Robust, surprisingly accurate, and good for 125 deg C.

So Barrie Gilbert's two IC houses are finally united: Tektronix sold their analogue IC operation to Maxim when the end of the analogue CRO became inevitable.
