MICROCHIP TECHNOLOGY INC

General Instrument Corporation spun off its microelectronics division as a wholly owned subsidiary called Microchip Technology, establishing the foundation for what would become an independent semiconductor company.

Microelectronics Division Spun Off

Microchip Technology became an independent company when acquired by a group of venture capitalists led by Sequoia Capital in a Series A funding round totaling $12 million, despite the company losing $2.5 million per quarter with less than 6 months of cash reserves.

Independent Company Formation

Steve Sanghi joined Microchip Technology from Intel Corporation where he had spent 10 years, bringing semiconductor expertise to a company on the brink of bankruptcy. He was appointed President in August 1990 and would transform the company over the next three decades.

Steve Sanghi Joins from Intel

Steve Sanghi was appointed Chief Executive Officer in 1991, beginning a transformational 30-year tenure that would build Microchip into a Top-20 global semiconductor manufacturer through innovative business models and strategic acquisitions.
