Avago Technologies

From the smartphone that keeps you in touch to the fber optic network that keeps a $10-billion corporation connected, we get our information these days through a burgeoning array of ever more sophisticated technologies. And behind it all, the agents of this vast and complex information exchange are semiconductors—the silicon sorcerers that bridge the gap between sensory phenomena and digital data.

Avago Technologies is a global leader in the design and supply of these analog and mixedsignal semiconductors, components and subsystems. For 40 years we’ve been providing the nuts and bolts of innovation to tens of thousands of OEMs, including many of the world’s top manufacturers. Our portfolio of approximatley 6,500 products runs the gamut from simple LEDs to complex ASICs. And they’re enabling leading-edge technologies in everything from plasma display panels to robotic arms.

Whenever you see an LED readout, alphanumeric display or indicator, there’s a good chance we made it. We invented the optical mouse—and the next generation of laser mouse sensors. We developed the ambient light sensors that light up your PDA. And the frst technology to bring the full spectrum of color to LCD TVs. We’re making it possible to talk longer on your mobile phone—or use it to catch your favorite song or TV show.
Every time you get information over the enterprise network, it’s probably thanks to our fber optic transceivers. And that car you drive? Odds are it was partly assembled by robots guided and protected by our optocouplers and motion control devices.

Our innovation helps bring your imagination to market.

Avago Technologies combines the capabilities and track record of an established global leader with the vigor and responsiveness of a startup. We spent our frst four decades as part of Hewlett-Packard and later, its spinof, Agilent Technologies. During those years we amassed over 5,000 patents and applications—as well as a reputation for innovation, quality, and superior customer service.

In late 2005, we were acquired by KKR and Silver Lake Partners and overnight we became one of the largest privately held semiconductor companies in
the world. Today we stand well positioned. Behind us lies a legacy of innovation; ahead of us, the freedom to forge our own path as we continue to shape the future of technology—and the world we live in.

For 40 years Avago Technologies’ advances have helped OEMs break new ground, creating new markets and leading existing ones. We’ve cultivated a habit of listening closely to our customers that dates back to our HP days in the 60s. Our longstanding relationships with customers deepen our system-level knowledge and give us early insight into new technology trends. That means we can pioneer new products faster, and with fewer risks. In fact, we have demonstrated the shortest lead-time in the business, and our products typically outperform their data sheet specs.

Avago Technologies is known and imitated for its customer-frst culture. Wherever our customers are, our application design engineers are close by. We work face-to-face with manufacturers and support them during every stage of product development. We also have the R&D, manufacturing and global supply chain to deliver innovative technology in high volumes, anywhere in the world, to accelerate market adoption.
