Linear Technology Corporation

Linear Technology Corporation (listed as "Linear Technologies" in the Mayfield portfolio harvest) was an American analog semiconductor company founded in 1981 and headquartered in Milpitas, California, designing and manufacturing high-performance analog integrated circuits — power management, data converters, amplifiers, voltage references, interface and RF products — for industrial, automotive, communications, computing, and military/aerospace markets. Backed early by Mayfield and Kleiner Perkins, it went public on NASDAQ in 1986 under the ticker LLTC and was acquired by Analog Devices in March 2017. The company no longer operates independently: its linear.com domain 301-redirects to www.analog.com, and its product lines, datasheets, and design tools (including LTspice) are now distributed through Analog Devices. As an analog component manufacturer it never operated a web/developer API program, and no public API surface exists to enrich. This profile is retained as an acquired-company lead; the successor developer surface is catalogued in the API Evangelist network under analog-devices.

Linear Technology Corporation is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Semiconductor, Analog, Integrated Circuits, and Power Management.
