Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AMCC) is a globally recognized semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, California. Founded in 1979, AMCC specializes in providing high-performance computing and connectivity solutions. The company designs, develops, and supports integrated circuit (IC) products primarily for the data center, telecommunications, enterprise networking, and embedded computing markets. AMCC's product portfolio includes multi-core processors, transmission and switching solutions, Ethernet switch chips, and embedded processors. These products are integral to a variety of devices such as routers, switches, network storage devices, wireless base stations, and network security equipment.

AMCC's multi-core processor technology is particularly lauded for its ability to deliver high-performance, low-power solutions. This technology adeptly meets the dual demands of high-end markets for rapid data processing and energy efficiency. The company is committed to technological innovation and boasts a highly skilled R&D team that continually drives product upgrades and the development of new technologies. AMCC also maintains strategic alliances with numerous industry-leading technology partners, collaborating to develop advanced system solutions that enhance the market competitiveness of its products.

In its operational model, AMCC adopts a "factory-free" approach, outsourcing production processes to leading semiconductor manufacturers worldwide. This strategy allows the company to respond flexibly to market changes while minimizing operating costs. AMCC's customer base spans the globe, encompassing several renowned telecommunications equipment manufacturers and network equipment suppliers. Despite its acquisition by MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc., a leader in high-performance RF, microwave, millimeter wave, and photonics solutions, in 2016, AMCC continues to be a notable name in the global semiconductor industry. The acquisition has served to further expand MACOM's product portfolio and technological capabilities in high growth markets.
