Read full description
The firm's core business revolves around creating system-level solutions for a variety of high-volume electronics markets. Key sectors served include mobile phones, portable media players, LCD televisions, personal computers, and their associated adapters and chargers. By situating its operations in Greater China, BCD Semi maintains close proximity to the burgeoning Asian electronics industry, enabling direct alignment with market trends and customer needs. Its manufacturing capabilities utilize advanced process technologies like Bipolar, CMOS, and BiCMOS to produce its portfolio of analog ICs.
A significant milestone in the company's history was the acquisition of Auramicro in 2011, which expanded BCD's DC/DC product portfolio and integrated a new analog design team. This strategic move was followed by BCD Semi's own acquisition in 2013 by Diodes Incorporated in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $151 million. The acquisition was completed on March 5, 2013. This event marked the integration of BCD Semi into Diodes' broader strategy to enhance its analog product offerings and expand its presence in the Asian market.
