Philips Semiconductors Distributor

Home > Active Components > Philips Semiconductors

Philips Semiconductors has fifty years of innovation and a rich IP portfolio that firmly established as Europe’s second largest semiconductor company. Philips Semiconductors, headquartered in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, was one of the world’s top semiconductor suppliers. Philips Semiconductors is a leading supplier of silicon system solutions for mobile communications, consumer electronics, digital displays, contactless payment and connectivity, and in-car entertainment and networking. These innovations are used in a wide range of automotive, identification, wireless infrastructure, lighting, industrial, mobile, consumer and computing applications.

Silicon Valley-based Signetics, the “first company in the world established expressly to make and sell integrated circuits” and inventor of the 555 timer IC, was acquired by Philips in 1975. At the time, it was claimed that “with the Signetics acquisition, Philips was now number two in the league table of semiconductor manufacturers in the world.” In 1987, Philips-Signetics, a unit of Philips, was ranked Europe’s largest semiconductor maker, with sales of $1.36 billion in 1986.

Philips acquired VLSI Technology in June 1999. At the time, the acquisition made Philips the world’s sixth largest semiconductor company.

In December 2005, Philips announced its intention to legally separate its semiconductor division, Philips Semiconductors, into an independent legal entity.
