The New Name in Semiconductor Innovation
It is with immense pride and excitement that I write
to inform you of the next chapter for Peregrine Semiconductor and Murata.
Effective today, 17 January 2018, Peregrine will operate under a new name,
pSemi Corporation. pSemi will have
the same experienced leadership team, but we will have a broader scope and an expanded
product portfolio.
When Murata acquired Peregrine in Dec. 2014, they kept the Peregrine brand name untouched.
In the last few years, Murata has asked our team to extend our reach, increase our intellectual
property (IP) portfolio and grow on a global scale to support more semiconductor innovations.
It is time to signify this shift and update how we represent ourselves to the market.
The name change also coincides with two major milestones: our 30-year anniversary of
RF-CMOS innovation and the shipment of our 4 billionth chip.
From now on, you will see the pSemi brand name and logo on our company emails and
at industry events. Please note that the existing Peregrine Semiconductor brand name
and products will remain unaffected and will continue to be supported by the same sales
teams, distributors and applications engineers. The new pSemi name and logo will be rolled
out across new products.
This growth strategy and name change is a huge honor that Murata has bestowed upon
our team, and consequently, we look forward to promoting innovative products that support
our vision to drive "Intelligent Electronics for the Connected World."
We invite you to visit our new website,
and learn more about our next chapter as pSemi.

RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling
2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed
formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit
design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at
the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps
while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail"
when a new message arrived...
