Linear Technology

Linear Technology was a company that specialized in designing and manufacturing analog integrated circuits, which are small electronic components used to process real-world signals like audio, temperature, and voltage. Unlike digital chips that work with discrete on/off signals, linear circuits handle continuous signals smoothly and accurately. These components are essential in measurement, instrumentation, and power management systems, providing stable, precise control and conversion of signals. Linear Technology's innovations helped improve the performance, efficiency, and reliability of electronic devices across various industries, until it was acquired by Analog Devices in 2017.
