Atmel

This page covers the following companies: Ozmo Devices → Newport Media → Atmel → Microchip

Atmel Corporation

• 1984: Atmel founded.
• 1999: Atmel first Wi-Fi chip (AT76C501 802.11b MAC)
• 2012: Atmel acquires Ozmo Devices (Wi-Fi Direct SoCs)
• 2014: Atmel acquires Newport Media (low power Wi-Fi SoCs)
• 2016: Atmel acquired by Microchip

Currently offers Internet of Things low-power 802.11b/g/n SoCs,

no current PCIe/USB/SDIO chipsets.
