About mSilica

mSilica, founded in 2006 and headquartered in Santa Clara, California, operated in the application-specific semiconductors industry. The company focused on designing, developing, and marketing mixed-signal power management integrated circuits. Its core products were LED driver ICs specifically created for LED backlights used in a range of electronic displays, including laptops, notebooks, flat-panel televisions, and computer monitors. mSilica distributed its products through a network of representative companies across Asia, North America, and Europe.

The company's financial history includes a significant Series B funding round on June 30, 2008, which raised $13.2 million from investor Sierra Ventures. Other investors in the company included DCM Ventures and Storm Ventures, with total funding reaching $19.2 million. mSilica's trajectory culminated in its acquisition by Atmel Corporation on December 31, 2010, after which it was classified as an acqui-hired company and eventually became inactive or "deadpooled".
