phonon was acquired by microsemi corporation. for the latest company updates, please visit the microsemi linkedin page at http://www.linkedin.com/company/microsemi.\\phonon was founded in 1982 to design and manufacture surface acoustic wave (saw) devices and subsystems. the company is owned and managed by its founders. phonon now has 85 employees, a 30,000 sq ft plant, is profitable, and expects strong continued growth. \\phonon's products are custom designed saw devices & subsystems, which are specialty microcircuits for high performance analog signal processing, including filters, delay lines, and correlators. saw technology is faster than digital integrated circuit technology, and provides the small size weight and power required by modern airborn, space and portable systems. saw devices use essentially the same photolithographic manufacturing processes as digital integrated circuits. half of phonon's sales are modules and subsystems which incorporate at least one saw component. saw is a growing technology with a bright future.
