Dialog History
- Dialog, based near London in Reading, traces its lineage to 1981 and the European operations of a U.S. company called International Microelectronic Products Inc. The Company's products included standard CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) ICs (Integrated Circuits), Power MOSFETs (Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistors), and high voltage CMOS. Those operations were acquired by auto maker Daimler-Benz AG and later spun out, with Dialog going public on the Frankfurt exchange in 1999. Dialog, was a U.K.-based company, manufactures chips used to manage power in high-end smartphones from Apple Inc. and others.Products
