Catalyst Semiconductor proves small analog
companies can perform well
In the semiconductor world where big companies
dominate with huge market share and investment strategies,
small sized vendors face a tough competition. But intellectually
driven companies like Catalyst beat the competition with its
innovative analog ICs.
In the recently released Fiscal 2008 financial
press release of Catalyst Semiconductor, all parameters points
to good growth.
Catalyst reports a total net revenue increase
of 14% year-on-year, from $66.4 million in fiscal 2007 to

Analog/Mixed-Signal ICs revenue has increased by 93% to $11.4
million for fiscal 2008 from $5.9 million for fiscal 2007.
However the Quarter-to-Quarter growth of Analog/Mixed-Signal
ICs was only up by 20%, from $2.3 million for the quarter
ended January 27, 2008 to 2.7 million in the 4th quarter ending
Apr 27 2008.
The other highlights of Catalyst Semicondcutor's

The success of CAT4201 LED driver: A fantastic device.
A total of 17 new products released in fiscal 2007.
It’s a Notable performance to motivate
