Atmel Corporation, founded in 1984, was a worldwide leader in the design, manufacturing, and marketing of advanced semiconductors. The company was known for its microcontrollers, capacitive touch solutions, advanced logic, mixed-signal, nonvolatile memory, and radio frequency (RF) components. Atmel was particularly renowned for its AVR series of microcontrollers, which were widely adopted in various applications from consumer electronics to industrial automation.
Atmel Corporation was founded in 1984 as a spin-off from Intel and was based in San Jose, California. Throughout its history, Atmel remained committed to innovation and open standards, making its products popular among engineers and hobbyists. The company was acquired by Microchip Technology in 2016, with the merger completed in July of that year.
Atmel’s core competencies included the integration of dense nonvolatile memory, logic, and analog functions on a single chip. The company leveraged advanced wafer processes such as BiCMOS, CMOS, and Silicon Germanium (SiGe) technologies. Atmel was also known for its low power consumption microcontrollers and its commitment to open source and open standards.
Atmel was a leading manufacturer in the semiconductor industry, providing complete system solutions focused on industrial, consumer, security, communications, computing, and automotive markets. The company’s broad intellectual property (IP) technology portfolio enabled it to offer intelligent and connected solutions across various sectors.
Atmel’s product catalog is now part of Microchip Technology’s offerings. It includes a wide range of microcontrollers, memory devices, communications ICs, and ASICs. For detailed information, one can refer to Microchip Technology’s website, which lists the original Atmel products and their equivalents.
Atmel’s products were used by a diverse range of clients across various industries, including consumer electronics, automotive, industrial automation, and aerospace. However, specific client names are not publicly listed.
Atmel was acquired by Microchip Technology in 2016. Microchip Technology is a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog, and Flash-IP solutions. Other related companies include Intel, from which Atmel was spun off.
Since Atmel is now part of Microchip Technology, the contacts are managed through Microchip. The headquarters of Microchip Technology is located in Chandler, Arizona. For contact information, including phone numbers and addresses, one can visit Microchip Technology’s official website.
