Annual Report (Form 10-K), fiscal year 1994

ITEM 1. BUSINESS
GENERAL Burr-Brown Corporation (and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and majority-owned affiliated companies, "Burr-Brown" or the "Company") is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of a broad line of proprietary, standard, high-performance, analog and mixed signal integrated circuits used in the processing of electronic signals. The Company's products are used primarily in electronic and medical instrumentation, process and industrial control systems, manufacturing automation, automatic test equipment, digital audio, telecommuni- cations, power conversion products, and computer peripherals. The Company also offers a product line of system components which include personal computer data acquisition and signal processing products, data collection systems and data entry terminals. The Company was incorporated in Arizona in 1956 and rein- corporated in Delaware in 1983. The Company's management and technical team has many years of experience in the design, manufacture, and worldwide marketing of highly complex, high performance analog integrated circuits and in solving customer problems in the markets served.
THE INDUSTRY Integrated circuits are electronic building blocks used in Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) products such as computers, process control systems, test equipment, communications networks, and consumer electronics. Worldwide inte- grated circuit sales are estimated by industry analysts to have been in excess of $92 billion in 1994. Industry analysts estimate that analog integrated circuits represent approximately 16 percent of total integrated circuits and are expected to remain at this level in the near future.
Electronic signals may be categorized in two forms: analog (linear) and digital. Integrated circuits that are used to process these electronic signals can be categorized as either analog or digital depending upon the technique used in the circuits to process or act on the signal. Mixed signal devices are those that use both analog and digital techniques for signal processing. The general characteristic that separates digital and analog circuits is this: digital circuits operate using digital techniques which use many repetitive circuit elements that are either on or off to represent the "ones" and "zeros" of the binary number system used in digital computers for computation. Some digital circuits may process analog signals by representing the analog signal in digital form. Examples of digital circuits that are used to manipulate or process electronic signals are memory devices, logic devices, microprocessors, and digital signal processors.
Analog circuits process electronic signals using analog techniques, that is, through the use of circuit elements whose output is a continuously varying representation of the input signal. Unlike digital signals which have two states, analog signals effectively have an infinite number of states. In analog processing, signals continuously vary as an analogy of continuously varying conditions such as temperature, pressure, position, frequency, sound and speed. In some cases, digital data are represented as analog signals such as in a modem in which the digital data are represented by the frequency of an analog signal. Analog circuits also provide the power control signals that are required to activate switches for the control of processes or equipment, and regulate voltages for electronic systems. Examples of analog circuits are amplifiers, voltage-to-frequency converters, and products that perform math- ematical functions. Other analog circuits convert analog signals to digital (analog-to-digital converter) so that the signals may be processed by digital processors or digital data to analog signals (digital-to-analog converter) so that the analog signal may be used to drive a "real world" element such as a speaker to create sound.
The Company believes production of analog circuits has some important advan- tages as compared to digital circuits. The market for analog integrated circuits is generally more stable; prices for analog integrated circuits are usually less volatile than digital circuits. Analog circuits are more dependent on circuit design, circuit layout, and matching of circuit elements. Analog circuit uniqueness and competitive advantage are achieved through inno- vative circuit design in concert with the subtleties of the wafer fabrication and packaging processes. - 2 -
In contrast, digital circuits rely heavily on the wafer fabrication process capability to achieve exceptionally high circuit element density, small feature size and low cost. Small circuit dimensions are usually not required to produce most high-performance state-of-the-art analog devices. As a result, production of analog circuits requires significantly less capital investment than that demanded by digital circuits.
PRODUCTS The Company operates predominately in one segment, the electronic component industry. The Company has various classes of products within that one segment.
The following table shows the approximate product line revenues as a percentage of total Company revenues:

ANALOG INTEGRATED CIRCUITS Demand for analog circuits primarily has been driven by the need for increased productivity manifested as the need for lower cost, lower power, smaller size, greater functionality, and higher precision products. Semiconductor technology has provided many effective solutions to this demand. The availability of effective solutions has accelerated with the advent of more advanced digital processing. This has led to greater use of digital computers or processors to provide massive computational power, to control processes and equipment, and in general to greater automation in industry. Since the early seventies, the availability of low cost digital microprocessors and later digital signal pro- cessing, in cost-effective single chip form, has enabled an acceleration of the trend toward digitization of systems. This has led to a high degree of hier- archaically distributed computational power leading to increased use of computers or imbedded processors to measure, control, monitor, or process electronic signals nearer or adjacent to the sensor that is detecting physical conditions. This, in turn, has created the need for products that enable digital computers, microprocessors, and digital signal processors to interact with electronic signals derived from physical or analog phenomena. Burr-Brown designs and manufactures the integrated circuits which perform the analog signal conditioning and data conversion functions critical to this interaction.
Process control sensors generate continuously varying electronic signals, called analog or linear signals, which represent the physical phenomenon being measured or controlled. In many circumstances these analog signals are rela- tively weak and contaminated with a large amount of electrical noise. The Company's signal processing components are used to strengthen, filter, transmit and otherwise process the signal. The resulting signal, still in analog form, must be converted into a digital signal before it can be processed by a com- puter. The Company's analog-to-digital circuits effect this conversion. After the digital signal is processed by the computer, it is often necessary to convert the digital signal back to analog form, and the Company's digital-to- analog circuits also accomplish this reverse conversion. The resulting analog signal controls the process.
The market requirements for analog signal processing and conversion products range from high performance industrial applications to high volume consumer applications. The Company's product strategy has been to concentrate on pro- prietary high precision or high performance analog, data conversion, and integrated analog/digital (mixed signal) circuits. The Company identifies significant markets in which new or enhanced high performance products of this type are required. The Company then attempts to develop and supply as com- plete a function as is permitted by technological and cost constraints.
The Company's signal processing and data conversion products are generally designed into a customer's product and usually remain a part of that product throughout its life. The Company's experience has been that there is generally a four-year period before the sales level of its products fully matures, and
- 3 -
the sales life of the products may extend to eight years or more. Once the Company's component has been designed into a customer's product, the relatively low volume, high performance characteristics of the component significantly deter potential competitors. As a result, the Company is often that customer's sole source for that particular component.
Analog signal processing integrated circuits are used to process and transmit analog data signals prior to their conversion to digital signals. The Company's analog circuits include operational amplifiers, power amplifiers, instrumenta- tion amplifiers, programmable gain amplifiers, isolation amplifiers, current transmitters and other analog signal processing components. These components are used in the construction of complete data acquisition systems, automatic test equipment, analytical instruments, medical instruments and systems, military equipment, industrial controls, computer peripherals and communica- tions equipment.
OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIERS--Operational amplifiers are used to detect and amplify weak (low level) analog signals and are included in many measurement and con- trol systems. The operational amplifier is the fundamental building block in analog systems design. In addition to amplification, it can perform mathema- tical functions such as integration and differentiation. The Company's high performance operational amplifiers are generally capable of amplifying typical analog signals in the micro-volt range up to 100,000 times and provide ultra- low drift, low bias current, low noise, high bandwidth and fast settling time. Certain models provide high voltage and high current operation for special applications. These high performance amplifiers are required to treat signals generated in numerous applications, including scramblers for satellite communi- cations systems, robotic vision systems and magnetic resonance and computer- aided tomography (CAT) body scanning systems.
OTHER AMPLIFIERS--The Company manufactures a number of other amplifiers, includ- ing instrumentation amplifiers, programmable gain amplifiers and isolation amplifiers. These products perform a variety of functions related to the ampli- fication and isolation of analog signals. Among other uses, these components permit the measurement of weak signals in the presence of unwanted "noise" and protect sensitive instruments from the effects of transient high-magnitude, potentially damaging voltages caused by sources such as lightning or switching of high voltage equipment. These amplifiers are used in many diverse applica- tions ranging from temperature measurement in industrial processes to the protection of sensitive medical instruments, and to isolate electrical power line disturbances and faults.
OTHER SIGNAL PROCESSING AND TRANSMITTER COMPONENTS--The Company manufactures a variety of other analog signal processing components including mathematical function circuits, current transmitters and voltage-to-frequency converters. Mathematical function circuits are used when information sought can be effec- tively derived only through its mathematical relationship to analog signals. Current transmitters send analog signal information from a process sensor to measurement or control equipment in the form of a current on the same wires that produce the power to the transmitter and sensor. Voltage-to-frequency converters convert process signals to a frequency, making the signal immune to electrical noise and permitting more efficient storage and processing of the information.
DATA CONVERSION INTEGRATED CIRCUITS Data conversion components are integrated circuit devices used to convert ana- log signals to digital form (A/D converters) and vice versa (D/A converters). This conversion is necessary in virtually all applications in which digital computers or processors measure and control the analog signals from a physical, "real world" process.
GENERAL PURPOSE CONVERSION PRODUCTS--The majority of the Company's data conver- sion components revenue is derived from moderate speed, high resolution and high accuracy converters. These general purpose converters are used primarily in manufacturing process instrumentation, electronic test instrumentation, auto- matic test systems and health care systems. For example, in a robot controller, the position of the robot arm must be precisely measured and manipulated. Analog signals from the robot's position sensors are converted by an A/D converter for computer processing and, in turn, a D/A converter converts the digital control signal from the computer to analog form to drive the actuators and servo motors to position the robot arm accurately.

HIGH SPEED CONVERSION PRODUCTS--In the early 1980's the Company began develop- ing high speed, high resolution analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters at speeds many times greater than general purpose products. These products utilize a unique combination of technologies and design expertise to achieve state-of-the-art performance.
High speed converters are used in a variety of applications such as image processing, digital oscilloscopes, ultrasound, radar and sonar, as well as the front end of advanced systems using digital-signal-processing (DSP) technology. The Company believes that due to the unique combination of technologies involved, competition in the high speed, high resolution product area is limited.
DIGITAL AUDIO D/A CONVERTERS--The Company believes that it was the first to introduce a viable low cost, high precision, single chip digital-to-analog con- verter for the consumer market, a pulse-code-modulated (PCM) conversion device. This product was being used by Japanese customers as early as 1979 and was introduced publicly in 1982. Designed for the consumer high fidelity stereo market, this D/A converter plays an essential role in digital audio systems, which use laser technology to achieve improved audio reproduction performance. These systems are playback units that use lasers to read Compact Discs (CD's) containing stereo music encoded in digital form. The Company's component con- verts the digital signals for each stereo channel into audio. The Company believes it is one of the largest merchant market suppliers of such devices worldwide.
Several generations of products of this type have been developed and introduced for use in digital audio systems. Similar products produced by the Company have been designed into digital audio tape (DAT) products. Digital audio tape sys- tems are used to record and play back digitized high fidelity audio signals on tape rather than the discs used in compact disc audio systems. PCM converters have now found their way into musical instruments, computers, automobiles, interfaces to digital signal processors, CD-ROMs for multimedia, and set top box tuners for cable and satellite TV.
The Company believes that the technology developed for the digital audio D/A converter enables the Company to develop products for other markets. For example, serving the compact disc market expedited the Company's development of complete 16-bit digital-to-analog converter integrated circuits for the military and industrial markets. The Company believes it holds a strong posi- tion in the 16-bit and higher precision converter market. Involvement in the compact disc market also helped the Company's early entry into the DAT (digital audio tape) market and multi-media markets.
DATA COLLECTION SYSTEMS, COMPONENT MICROTERMINAL DEVICES AND PERSONAL COMPUTER INSTRUMENTATION The products of Intelligent Instrumentation Inc. (III), a majority-owned affiliate of Burr-Brown, address the rapidly growing markets for PC-based data collection and automation.
III's data acquisition product line includes a broad range of plug-in boards, portable data acquisition systems, and supporting software for IBM compatible PC's, as well as a broad line of signal conditioning accessories for such systems. These products are applied worldwide in a myriad of industrial and scientific applications. III believes that these products compare well with competition in performance, cost-effectiveness, and ease-of-use.
A key part of the data acquisition product line is software that is easy to use, yet flexible enough to accomplish diverse applications. III's premier software product for data acquisition is Visual Designer, a graphical develop- ment environment which enables users to design applications by connecting functional blocks, called icons, in a flow diagram. Once the diagram is completed, Visual Designer generates code which runs under Microsoft Windows on a standard PC.
The LANpoint line of products for enterprise data collection take advantage of a widespread trend toward the use of networks of personal computers. These products integrate a complete Ethernet-ready PC into a small rugged industrial package, along with bar code and magnetic stripe capabilities, digital I/O and
- 5 -
serial ports. In addition, network drivers and tools are provided for Novell, LAN Manager, LANtastic, and TCP/IP networks, making the products usable in almost any PC networking environment. These products are being marketed through an established network of Value Added Resellers (VARs).
III also offers integrated data collection systems which not only collect the data, but format and deliver that data to the customer's information system in real time. This is achieved through the integration of III's data collection hardware and software products to meet a customer's specific needs. The engineering of such systems is a fertile source of inputs for new products, both hardware and software.
III's line of microterminals is aimed at the market for embedded applications of microprocessors. Microterminals communicate on a serial link, providing numerous functions and options for the system designer and user. With their aggressively low cost, excellent functionality, and rugged yet attractive packages, microterminals offer system architects a desirable alternative to the designing of customized panels.
POWER CONVERSION PRODUCTS The products of Power Convertibles Corporation (PCC), a majority-owned affiliate of Burr-Brown, address DC-to-DC conversion and battery chargers. PCC is one of the leading suppliers of low power DC/DC converters as well as products to con- dition and charge many types of batteries including cellular telephones. All products are manufactured using surface mount technology with automated pro- cesses at PCC's ISO9001 certified plants in Arizona and Mexico. Its products are supplied worldwide to the computer, medical, industrial, telecommunications, data communications and instrumentation markets.
PCC has numerous competitors in the low end DC/DC power conversion market. PCC competes favorably in this market. Their competitive factors include surface mount manufacturing techniques, price and quality. There are several new products under development which will enable PCC to move into the higher end power conversion market where high power density is critical to market success. PCC's new products for this market are being designed to possess some of the highest density ratings in the industry.
PCC also designs, produces and markets battery chargers for the cellular tele- phone market. A significant proportion of PCC's revenues is generated from a single customer in this market. PCC has established marketing and custom design capabilities in an effort to increase its customer base in this area.
PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT One of the important factors that distinguishes the analog integrated circuit business from the digital integrated circuit business is the importance of the contribution of innovative individual design engineers. Digital circuits have an exceptional amount of repetition of circuit elements and are highly depen- dent upon the ability to produce chips with vary high circuit element density to minimize chip size and maximize speed. This type of wafer processing of extremely small dimensions leads to the need for state-of-the-art, inordinately costly capital investment in wafer fabrication facilities.
Analog circuits, on the other hand, require the ability to accurately match elements and place elements with respect to one another. In addition, analog circuits may require the ability to handle large voltages and currents and therefore demand relatively large circuit element and spacing dimensions. Although these requirements place stringent processing requirements on an analog wafer fabrication facility, the necessary equipment and facilities are substantially less costly and longer lived than required for digital circuit processing.
Designers of analog circuits must take into account complex interrelationships between the manufacturing process, the circuit elements, and the packaging process, all of which may seriously affect the circuits' performance. The number of creative design engineers who have the training and the experience to handle these complexities is very limited. The Company's ability to compete depends heavily on its continued introduction of innovatively designed and cost effective new products. Therefore, the Company must continually invest in design engineering talent, engineering tools, production processes, and test equipment. - 6 -
The Company emphasizes the development of proprietary standard and application specific products. The Company's product strategy is to identify markets in which the application of microelectronics technology may be used to provide competitive advantage for its customers through improved methods of precision in measuring, monitoring and controlling physical processes and conditions. Examples of these markets are: robotics, factory automation, process control, automatic test, medical instrumentation, computers, communications and digital audio. Within these markets the Company selects specific applications in which the Company's unique design and processing technology may make an important contribution to its customers.
The Company spent approximately $21.9 million in 1994, $19.8 million in 1993, and $18.1 million in 1992 for product and process development. This represents an expenditure of approximately 11 percent of sales in each of 1994, 1993 and 1992. (See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders, incor- porated by reference to Item 7 of this report.) The Company's current product research and development efforts are focused primarily on the development of ultra high speed and high precision data converters which use mixed signal design techniques and topologies, and high precision signal conditioning inte- grated circuits. The Company also continues to focus on broadening its range of hardware and software offerings to the markets for factory data collection, digital signal processing technology, and the use of personal (PC) and other computer platforms in industrial control, test and laboratory environments.
BACKLOG Burr-Brown's products are generally standard items with a relatively short delivery cycle. The Company's backlog is usually three months or less of sales although some portion may be scheduled for delivery four to eighteen months into the future. Therefore, the order backlog at the end of any specific quarter is not generally indicative of the level of sales to be expected in succeeding quarters. It is the policy of the Company to include in backlog only those orders that have firm scheduled delivery dates. The Company's back- log as of December 31, 1994, 1993 and 1992 was approximately $45.5 million, $31.4 million, and $29.6 million, respectively.
MARKETING Burr-Brown markets its products in all the major markets in the industrialized world through its direct sales force, independent sales representatives, and distributors.
In approximately 45 countries and the less significant domestic markets where the Company does not have a direct sales force, independent sales representa- tives sell all of the Company's products. The majority of the Company's sales people hold engineering degrees and the balance have relevant engineering experience.
The Company markets its line of component and system products to over 22,000 customers. The largest customer accounted for approximately 3 percent of sales in 1994. Burr-Brown products are sold to original equipment manufacturers, systems assemblers and, to a lesser extent, manufacturing concerns which build their own test and process control systems. The Company's components are generally proprietary and are frequently "designed in" to its customers' products at the product development state. Accordingly, the Company is often a customer's sole source for a particular component. Over 40 percent of the orders received in 1994 for analog and data conversion integrated circuits were for products introduced within the preceding five years. Representative major customers of the Company include Elsay Bailey Group, Hewlett-Packard Co., Matsushita Electric Corp. of America, Northern Telecom Inc., Siemens AG, Sony Electronics Inc., Toshiba America Electronic Components Inc., Mitsubishi Corp., Alcatel Answare, Nokia Corporation Finland, Advantest Corp., NEC America Inc., IBM, Fujitsu Ltd., Ericsson, and Hughes Network Systems Inc.
Sales outside the United States accounted for approximately 62 percent of total sales in 1994, 64 percent of total sales in 1993 and 61 percent of total sales in 1992. (See the note labeled "Foreign Operations, Geographic, and Segment Data" in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" in the Company's Annual Report to Shareholders, incorporated by reference to Item 8 of this report.) To support its international marketing organization, the Company has established product development centers and manufacturing facilities in Scotland and Japan. The Company also has four product development centers at the corporate head- quarters in Tucson.
- 7 -
A large percentage of international sales are denominated in local currencies and the Company's foreign revenues and net income are therefore subject to currency exchange rate fluctuations. However, the Company borrows funds in local currencies and purchases forward contracts to hedge its foreign currency exposure. Some of the Company's products are subject to export regulations and other international trading restrictions, but the Company has not experienced any material difficulties from these limitations. No assurance can be given, however, that such material difficulties will not be experienced in the future.
COMPETITION Burr-Brown estimates that it is among the top 4 manufacturers of high perform- ance amplifiers and data conversion integrated circuits. The Company's major competitor in the high performance analog integrated circuits market in Analog Devices Inc., believed to be the largest supplier of these devices. Other com- petitors include Linear Technology Corp. and Maxim Integrated Products Inc. With respect to a small number of products, the Company also competes with National Semiconductor Corp., Harris Corp., Motorola Inc., Texas Instruments Inc., Cirrus Logic Inc., Signal Processing Technologies, Datel Inc., Sipex Corp., and Unitrode Corp.
The Company is not aware of any significant competition from foreign companies providing analog integrated circuits, personal computer instrumentation pro- ducts, and data collection products for the industrial and military markets; however, there can be no assurance that foreign competitors will not enter these markets in the future. The Company's PCM product line does compete with several U.S. and foreign manufacturers of "digital audio" D/A converters for use in digital compact disc stereo systems, including Analog Devices Inc., Cirrus Logic Inc., Asahi Kasei Micro, Sony Electronics Inc., Hitachi America Ltd., Matsushita Electric Corp. of America, Mitsubishi Corp, and Philips Semiconductors. While some of these competitors have greater financial and marketing resources than Burr-Brown, none of them compete with the Company in all of its product areas.
The Company believes that competition with respect to component products is based primarily on design and process innovation, product performance and reli- ability, technical service, availability of a broad range of specialized products, standard product availability; and secondarily, on price. The Company believes that reliable performance and service are more important than price when the Company is the sole source of a product. Price is more of a competi- tive factor when an equivalent product is available from other sources, as in the case of commodity products. Burr-Brown competes with this type of product only in limited areas.
Large semiconductor manufacturers have generally concentrated their product and marketing efforts on high volume, relatively low priced, general purpose compo- nents. The Company does not usually compete in these markets. Whereas most large semiconductor companies tend to generalize a component to achieve the broadest high volume usage possible, Burr-Brown follows a strategy of narrowly defining its products for application markets demanding very high, difficult to achieve performance. The Company believes that its products' high performance requirements and relatively low unit sales volumes will continue to make it impractical for larger semiconductor suppliers to market a broad line of competing components.
MANUFACTURING The Company's manufacturing technology has evolved substantially over the past two decades. Initially, the Company manufactured its products by assembling purchased resistors, transistors, diodes and other discrete components onto printed circuit boards. The Company has since migrated to integrated circuits, which required the development of semiconductor manufacturing technologies in its Tucson wafer fabrication facility.
The Company can utilize its in-house process technology, purchase wafer process- ing foundry services, or buy components already incorporating the necessary technology in order to meet customer needs. It must combine relatively diverse technologies to produce the integrated circuits necessary to meet the stringent performance requirements of its customers. For example, some of the Company's integrated circuit products combine high precision linear integrated circuit wafer fabrication processing with compatible laser-trimmed thin film technology and dielectric isolation (DI) wafer processing.

The Company offers several bipolar, CMOS and BiCMOS processes which provide circuits for the analog, data acquisition and PCM markets. Burr-Brown processes have the added capability of making high quality capacitors and trimmable resis- tors that enable the Company to manufacture high precision, cost effective products. The following describes the various processes that Burr-Brown offers and the market that each one addresses:
40 VOLT BIPOLAR PROCESS: This is a high voltage (40V) bipolar (+/- 15V or 36V power supplies) used to make high voltage operational and instrumentation ampli- fiers. High precision in these products is made possible by the capability of ion implanted JETS and trimmable resistors. Typical products made from this process are instrumentation amplifiers, universal active filters, isolation amplifiers and high voltage power amplifiers.
20 VOLT BIPOLAR PROCESS: This is a lower voltage (20V) bipolar process especially suited to data acquisition and PCM components. There are faster circuits utilizing smaller devices with lower Rc. Trimmable resistors allow high precision products.
DIELECTRICALLY ISOLATED BIPOLAR PROCESS: This is a dielectrically isolated high voltage (40V) bipolar process used for low noise, high precision and low drift. Very high performance amplifiers are built by this process where the noise and drift characteristics are important, especially in the medical equipment markets served.
COMPLIMENTARY BIPOLAR DIELECTRICALLY ISOLATED PROCESS: Dielectrically isolated process with complementary NPN and PNP bipolar transistors. This process is used to manufacture high voltage operational amplifiers, voltage-to-frequency converters, and sample/hold circuits.
In addition to the processes at the Company's Tucson wafer fabrication facility, foundries are used for processes not available internally. Processes currently used include a variety of CMOS processes ranging from 3 microns to 0.6 microns for products such as single and dual analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters; a 2 micron BiCMOS process for PCM DACs and ADCs; a very high fre- quency bipolar process used for products such as video amplifiers.
ASSEMBLY AND TEST The Company has integrated circuit assembly operations in Tucson and Scotland. In addition, much of the assembly demand is met by using contract assembly companies located in Japan, Taiwan, Malaysia, Korea, Thailand and the Philip- pines. To achieve lower cost without compromising high performance, the Company has expanded its monolithic capability to complement multi-chip-module assembly in its Tucson manufacturing facility.
The Company utilizes proprietary laser trimming techniques to produce high performance bipolar integrated circuits and thin film resistors. This opera- tion uses proprietary deposition technology and computer-controlled laser trimming techniques to achieve the desired high precision. Depending upon the performance requirements, integrated circuits may be packaged as single chip products; or combined on ceramic substrates with the Company's thin film resistors and purchased parts, such as discrete power devices, transformers and optical diodes to form hybrid integrated circuits.
The Company's Tucson facility incorporates a computerized shop floor control software system specifically designed to enhance the Company's ability to effectively manage the operations.
The Company has developed and implemented a quality and productivity improve- ment (QPI) program designed to aid in reducing waste, increasing yields, improving communications and achieving overall high quality across all product lines. The QPI program incorporates statistical process control (SPC) and total quality management (TQM) techniques. The Company has maintained ISO9001 Quality Certification since 1993.
To provide better service to its European and Japanese customers, and to achieve an improved competitive position, the Company maintains manufacturing and product development facilities in both areas. In Europe, a manufacturing
- 9 -
and product development site is located in Livingston, Scotland. This facility designs and assembles integrated circuits for sale in Europe and for export to other markets.
The Company's manufacturing plant in Scotland is certified to meet the requirements of the United Kingdom's Ministry of Defense specification BS9000. Subsequent to receiving this certification, the Company has qualified products to the United Kingdom's specification BS9450.
In Japan, the Company's Atsugi Technical Center near Tokyo performs product development, final product testing, quality and reliability testing for the PCM product line for sale in Japan and export to other markets.
The principle raw materials used by the Company in the manufacture of its monolithic integrated circuits are silicon wafers, chemicals and gases used in processing wafers, gold wire and ceramic, metal and epoxy packages that enclose the chip and provide the external connections for the circuit. Silicon wafers and other raw materials may be obtained from several suppliers. From time to time, particularly during periods of increased industry-wide demand, silicon wafers and other materials have been in short supply. As is typical in the industry, the Company allows for a significant period of lead time between order and delivery of raw materials. In addition, the Company sometimes enters into long term supplier-customer relationships with key suppliers of such materials to mitigate problems of possible shortages.
Government regulations impose various controls on the discharge of certain chemicals and gases into the environment that have been used in semiconductor processing. The Company believes that its manufacturing processes conform to present environmental regulations but there can be no assurance that future changes in such regulations will not result in increased costs or impede operat- ing performance. The Company is on target to eliminate the use of ozone- depleting chemicals and gases by the end of 1995.
The Company is continuing to implement the necessary actions for the site remediation as required under the provisions of the Consent Decree Agreement with EPA. The cost for the implementation required in 1994 was approximately $100,000.
HUMAN RESOURCES At December 31, 1994, the Company employed 1928 people worldwide, including 1223 people in manufacturing and assembly, 219 people in research and development, 282 in sales and marketing and 204 in management and administration. Many of the Company's employees are highly skilled and the Company's continued success will depend, in part, on its ability to attract and retain such employees, who are generally in great demand. At times, like other semiconductor manufac- turers, the Company has had difficulty hiring engineering personnel. The Company has never experienced a work stoppage; no employees are represented by labor organizations, and the Company considers its employee relations to be very good.
PATENTS AND LICENSES The Company owns 107 United States patents expiring from 1995 to 2014, and has applications for 6 additional patents pending in the United States as well as patents issued and pending in several other countries. Although the Company pursues a policy of maintaining a strong patent portfolio, the Company believes that its success depends primarily upon the experience and creative skills of its people rather than upon the ownership of patents. As is common in the semiconductor industry, from time to time, the Company has been notified of claims regarding the possible infringement of patents issued to others, and similarly, the Company has on occasion notified others of possible infringements of its patents.
