Cirrus Logic, Inc. is a U.S.-based semiconductor company that designs low-power, high-precision mixed-signal processing chips used primarily in consumer electronics. The company operates within the semiconductor and fabless integrated circuit industries, focusing on audio, voice, sensing, and power-related technologies for mobile and consumer applications. Cirrus Logic derives a substantial portion of its revenue from components integrated into smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other portable consumer devices, with audio codecs, amplifiers, smart codecs, haptics controllers, camera controllers, and power conversion solutions representing key product categories. Public filings and industry reporting consistently identify a high customer concentration tied to major global smartphone manufacturers, particularly Apple Inc.

The company was founded in 1984 and is headquartered in Austin, Texas. Over time, Cirrus Logic evolved from a broader semiconductor supplier into a specialized mixed-signal chip designer emphasizing low-power audio and signal-processing technologies. Its strategic positioning is built around deep engineering relationships with large original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), expertise in analog and mixed-signal integration, and the ability to develop highly customized components for premium mobile devices. The company’s fabless operating model allows it to focus on design and intellectual property while outsourcing wafer fabrication and assembly to third-party manufacturing partners.
