Business Description


Linear Technology Corporation designs, manufactures and markets a broad line of standard high performance linear integrated circuits. Applications for the Company's  products include telecommunications, cellular telephones, networking products,  notebook computers, computer peripherals, video/multimedia, industrial instrumentation,  security monitoring devices, high-end consumer products such as digital cameras and MP3 players, complex medical devices, automotive electronics, factory automation,  process control, and military and space systems. The Company was organized and  incorporated in 1981. The Company competes primarily on the basis of performance,  functional value, quality, reliability and service.

Semiconductor components are the electronic building blocks used in electronic  systems and equipment. These components are classified as either discrete devices (such as individual transistors) or integrated circuits (in which a number of  transistors and other elements are combined to form a more complicated electronic circuit). Integrated circuits ("ICs") may be divided into two general categories, digital and linear (or analog). Digital circuits, such as memory  devices and microprocessors, generally process on-off electrical signals, represented by binary digits, "1" and "0." In contrast, linear circuits monitor, condition, amplify or transform continuous analog signals associated with physical properties, such as temperature, pressure, weight, light, sound or speed, and play an important role in bridging between real world phenomena and a variety of electronic systems. Linear circuits also provide voltage regulation and power control to electronic systems, especially in hand-held battery powered systems.


Linear circuits are used in various applications including telecommunications,  cellular telephones, networking products such as power over Ethernet switches, notebook computers, computer peripherals, video/multimedia, industrial instrumentation,  security monitoring devices, high-end consumer products such as digital cameras and MP3 players, complex medical devices, automotive electronics, factory automation,  process control, and military and space systems. The Company focuses its product development and marketing efforts on high performance applications where the Company believes it can position itself competitively with respect to product performance and functional value.

The Company's sales organization is divided into domestic and international  regions. The Company's sales offices located in the United States are in the  following metropolitan areas: Seattle, Baltimore, Denver, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Chicago, Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Jose, Los Angeles, Irvine, San Diego,  Huntsville, Minneapolis, Cleveland and Portland.
Internationally, the Company has sales offices in: London, Stockholm, Helsinki, Dusseldorf, Munich, Stuttgart, Paris, Lyon, Milan, Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Taipei, Singapore, Seoul, Hong Kong, Bejing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. The Company's products typically require a sophisticated technical sales effort.


Competition. Linear Technology competes in the high performance segment of the linear market. The Company's competitors include among others, Analog Devices, Inc., Maxim Integrated Products, Inc., National Semiconductor Corporation and Texas Instruments, Inc. Competition among manufacturers of linear integrated circuits is intense, and certain of the Company's competitors may have significantly  greater financial, technical, manufacturing and marketing resources than the  Company. The principal elements of competition include product performance,  functional value, quality and reliability, technical service and support, price, diversity of product line and delivery capabilities.
The Company believes it competes favorably with respect to these factors, although it may be at a disadvantage in comparison to larger companies with broader product lines and greater technical service and support capabilities.
