AMCC
Applied Micro Circuits Corporation (AppliedMicro or AMCC) was a pioneering fabless semiconductor company specializing in high-performance network processors, embedded processors, optical transport solutions, and storage ICs. With core competencies in both Power ISA and ARMv8-A architectures, AppliedMicro played a key role in advancing energy-efficient computing technologies across datacenter, enterprise, telecom, and consumer markets. The company became globally recognized for enabling energy-conscious computing and communication solutions for next-generation applications.
AppliedMicro’s innovative product lines included server processors based on ARM architectures, as well as industry-leading transport and connectivity solutions for high-bandwidth, low-latency applications. The company was a driving force in the development of scalable platforms designed to deliver exceptional performance per watt, enabling data centers and enterprises to achieve high throughput while reducing energy consumption and footprint.
In 2017, MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. acquired AppliedMicro, expanding its capabilities in high-speed analog and optical technologies. Today, AppliedMicro’s legacy continues to power cutting-edge applications such as hyperscale computing, fiber-optic networking, and cloud storage infrastructure.
