Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., now a subsidiary of Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), is a leading designer, manufacturer, and seller of analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The company serves a broad range of markets, including automotive, industrial, communications, consumer, and computing.

Maxim Integrated was founded based on a two-page business plan that secured $9 million in venture capital financing. Here are some key milestones in the company's history:

• Early Years: In its first year, Maxim developed 24 second-source products. The company introduced the MAX600 in 1985 and recorded its first profitable fiscal year in 1987, thanks in part to the success of the MAX232.
• Public Listing: Maxim became a public company through an initial public offering in 1988.
• Acquisitions and Expansion: Over the years, Maxim acquired several companies, including the integrated circuits division of Tektronix (1994), Dallas Semiconductor (2001), and various other firms to expand its capabilities in digital and mixed-signal CMOS design, power management, and other areas.
• Challenges and Recovery: Maxim faced a period where its stock was delisted from the Nasdaq Stock Exchange due to issues related to stock option backdating but was relisted in 2008 after restating its earnings.
• Recent Acquisition: In August 2021, Maxim Integrated was acquired by Analog Devices in an all-stock transaction valued at over $68 billion.

Maxim Integrated's business is diversified across several key segments:

• Automotive: Provides solutions for automotive systems, including power management, sensors, and interface ICs.
