CDI was a certified manufacturer of military diodes and rectifiers, as well as commercial products in axial leaded and surface mount packaging.
Compensated Devices specializes in high-reliability diode, rectifier, and Schottky products. The company has developed a proprietary high-temperature glass sealing process that Microsemi said is considered to be the highest reliability manufacturing process available today.
Compensated Devices produces aerospace-grade, high-reliability bipolar transistors. The company operates a highly automated and streamlined plant for high-reliability transistors and products certified to JAN-S, MIL-S-19500 and ISO9001 specifications.
Microsemi Corp. (Irvine, CA) has entered into agreements in principle to acquire Compensated Devices Inc. (CDI, Melrose, MA) and New England Semiconductor Corp. (NES, Lawrence, MA). Microsemi believes that the acquisitions will strengthen its product offering with space and military qualified Schottky diodes and high reliability bipolar transistors.
