Monolithic Power Systems [MPS]

Monolithic Power Systems (MPS) was founded in 1997, and headquartered in San Jose, California. MPS has three core strengths; deep system-level and applications knowledge, strong analog design expertise, and an innovative proprietary process technology. Monolithic is a high performance analog semiconductor company.

MPS works closely with customers to identify new product opportunities reduce time-to-market and effectively support its applications. In addition, MPS has developed a portfolio of intellectual property and proprietary wafer fabrication processes that enhance its products and market share. MPS design teams have brought many innovative product suites to market and helped increase the company’s annual revenue. MPS’ proprietary BCD Plus™ process technology is the key to its competitive advantage. Other analog semiconductor vendors rely on multiple chip solutions to avoid these issues. In contrast, MPS’ BCD Plus process technology resolves each of these issues.

MPS is a fabless semiconductor company, working with third party foundries. However, in contrast to many other fabless companies that use standard process technologies, MPS works with its foundry partners to install its own proprietary process technology in their facilities for use solely by MPS. MPS employs over 700 employees worldwide, located in the United States, Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan and across Europe. MPS designs and delivers smaller, single-chip power management ICs that are highly efficient and accurate. In addition, MPS’ single process technology simplifies the design process, and is applicable across a wide range of analog applications. The result is higher productivity and significant cost advantages for any MPS customer.
