Robert Swanson, founder and Executive Chairman stated: "When Linear was founded in 1981, to succeed it had to overcome a lot of what was then conventional wisdom".
"Investors didn't think there was still much of an opportunity to back a new chip venture, much less an analogue chip company during the dawn of the 'digital revolution'".
"The vision of the founding team turned out to be correct".
"25 years later we can say with pride, we did it our way and the results speak for themselves".
Lothar Maier, CEO, stated: "Linear has been successful for 25 years by sticking to one overall strategy and that is to only develop, design and market high-performance analogue products".
"After 25 years we have perfected this skill and see no reason to change".
"We lead the industry by bringing to market compelling products that solve our customers' complex analogue needs; this is what Linear Technology does best".
Linear Technology is commemorating this milestone in its 2006 Annual Report, just released, which highlights the company's 25 years of results.
As summarised in the Annual Report: "In September 2006 the company will be 25 years old".
"Old enough to know our craft; young enough to be driven and focused to be the best: the best products, the best service, the best financials".
Recognised in the industry as the "analogue franchise", Linear essentially defined the market for high-performance analogue.
Linear Technology's integrated circuits provide an essential bridge between our analogue world and the digital microelectronics used pervasively in a broad range of industrial, computer and communications systems.
The company's thousands of analogue products have proliferated in applications ranging from popular MP3 players and high-end cellphones, to cellular basestations, network routers, automotive electronics, computer, medical and industrial systems.
