(Formerly known as SMC!)
Comment from SMSC's PR. person: Standard Microsystems was formerly known as "SMC". We sold our Systems Products Division almost a year ago (so about 199708, Jaap), and they retained the rights to the name "SMC", therefore, we can no longer use the "SMC" abbreviation in connection with Standard Microsystems Corporation. You need to use our new logo (see www.smsc.com/main/ssm/logos.html) and you need to update all links to point to our new URL: www.smsc.com/.

------------------------------------
TI to Acquire TDK's Subsidiary Silicon Systems Inc. (SSi)
TOKYO (June 5, 1996) TDK Corporation of Japan, through its
U.S. subsidiary TDK U.S.A. Corporation ("TDK"), and
Texas Instruments Incorporated (NYSE:TXN) today announced
the signing of a Stock Purchase Agreement by which TI would
acquire TDK's U.S. semiconductor subsidiary, Silicon
Systems Inc. (SSi). The acquisition strengthens TI's
position in DSP solutions and the mixed-signal/analog
marketplace, and firmly establishes TI as a leading
supplier of semiconductor products to the hard-disk drive
and removable data storage markets.

SSM
Solid State Music
SSM (solid state music) used to make music-synthesizer IC's like VCO, VCF and VCA. Later, when synthesizers became digital they concentrated on VCA for audio (mixing consoles, compressors) app they "merged" into PMI that revived with a large range of exellent audio IC's. They finally merged into Analog Devices. AD still has got some IC's "SSM".

Joe da Silva told me:
Has been acquired by Sprague during the mid-80's.
I remember Sprague offering the SCL4000 series (for military only, I think) and using the SSS "cube" logo with the caption "Sprague Solid State"... Did Sprague only acquire a part of SSS or did they later "on-sell" SSS to ST?
