Amalfi
Amalfi Semiconductor is an innovative semiconductor manufacturer that has made significant strides in the technology industry. Founded in 2003, this Los Gatos, California-based company specializes in radio frequency (RF) and mixed-signal chips, particularly for the entry-level smartphone market. The company's proprietary RF CMOS and mixed-signal expertise have positioned it as a vital player in the competitive market of integrated circuits. Amalfi's product portfolio is robust and its technology has been backed by a substantial amount of venture capital funding, including significant investments from Battery Ventures, DCM, and Globespan Capital Partners.
The acquisition by RF Micro Devices Inc. (RFMD) in 2012 for $47.5 million marked a significant milestone for Amalfi Semiconductor. This merger capitalized on Amalfi's technological prowess and RFMD's market credibility and manufacturing scale, with the aim of accelerating the adoption of Amalfi's ICs in the market. The company's legacy continues today as part of Qorvo, a leading global provider of RF solutions, formed from the merger of RFMD and TriQuint. Amalfi's contribution to Qorvo's broad portfolio of products and core technologies continues to shape the RF solutions landscape.
