Founded in 1980, Legerity became one of the world’s most trusted names in voice integrated circuits (ICs). The company built its reputation through decades of leadership in analog and mixed-signal IC solutions for wireline voice and data networks, beginning with the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). Legerity earned the confidence of the world’s largest telecommunications OEMs through deep expertise across multiple voice technologies, world-class factory and field engineering support, a high-touch customer philosophy, and the reliable, high-volume delivery of premium-quality ICs. In August 2007, Legerity was acquired by Zarlink Semiconductor, which was subsequently acquired by Microsemi Corporation in October 2011.
