About Andigilog

Andigilog, Inc. operated as a fabless analog and mixed-signal semiconductor company, established in 1996 in Tempe, Arizona. Initially founded as a semiconductor design consulting company, it evolved to develop and provide intelligent thermal management solutions aimed at enhancing system performance, accuracy, and reliability across the computing, cellular, consumer electronics, and industrial sectors. The company's business model was centered on the design and sale of these specialized semiconductor products without owning its own manufacturing facilities, a common practice for fabless companies to reduce capital expenditure.

The company's product portfolio was focused on thermal management technology and included a range of components such as sensor interface integrated circuits, various types of temperature sensors (including those with automatic fan speed control, digital output, analog output, and SiMISTOR sensors), system controllers, and brushless DC fan motor controllers. These products were engineered to address the growing need for sophisticated temperature regulation in electronic devices.

Throughout its operation, Andigilog secured significant investment to fuel its growth and product development. The company raised a total of $23.1 million over four funding rounds. A notable funding event was its Series B round on March 5, 2007, where it raised $11.5 million from a consortium of investors including Shepherd Ventures, Intel Capital, Mission Ventures, Rising Tide Fund, Valley Ventures, and Palisades Growth Capital. In a significant development for the company, Andigilog was acquired by Standard Microsystems Corporation (SMSC) on January 1, 2008. Subsequently, SMSC was itself acquired by Microchip Technology Inc. in August 2012, integrating Andigilog's legacy and technologies into the broader Microchip portfolio.
