BUSINESS SUMMARY 
National Semiconductor Corporation, a semiconductor company, together with its subsidiaries, engages in the design, development, manufacture, and marketing of semiconductor products, primarily analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits worldwide. It offers various power management products, including switching voltage regulators and controllers, low drop-out voltage regulators, LED drivers, precision voltage references, battery management integrated circuits, mobile pixel link serial bridges, and display drivers. The company also supplies user-designed application-specific products in the form of standard cells, gate arrays, and custom devices, as well as telecommunications components for analog and digital line cards, and 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers. In addition, it offers various signal path products, such as operational amplifiers, audio amplifiers, analog-to-digital converters and digital-to-analog converters, precision timing products, communication interface and signal-conditioning products, and thermal management products, as well as integrated circuits and contract services to avionics, defense, and aerospace customers. The company’s power management integrated circuits convert and regulate voltages to ensure that electronic systems operate with the lowest power consumption; and signal path integrated circuits handle the requisite analog technology for information or data, as it travels from the point where it enters the electronic system, and is conditioned, converted, and processed to the point where it is sent out. National Semiconductor supplies analog and mixed-signal semiconductor products to various markets, such as the industrial, communications, computing, consumer, medical and automotive, wireless handsets, displays, personal computers, and communications infrastructure through direct sales force and third party distributors. The company was founded in 1959 and is headquartered in Santa Clara, California.
