What's in a name?
Perhaps everything.
Our name was carefully chosen to express who we are.
NA•SCENT (`nä-sənt)
1. Coming into being; emerging
2. Beginning to develop.
The word actually comes from the root of the Latin word nasci, which means to be born.
NASCENTechnology is a leader in emerging technologies, and nowhere is that more evident than with the Low Temperature Co-Fired Ceramic (LTCC) Transformer.
For 100 years, industry had relied on the old wire-wound transformer.
For 100 years, the basic transformer did not change, even as the technology around it changed.
For 100 years, engineers had one choice around which to build their products.
And now, NASCENT.

About Us
NASCENTechnology History
Progression of our ferrite LTCC
technology
- September 1997 - Midcom, Inc. builds the first practical working monolithic LTCC isolation transformer
- April 2000 - Granted 1st U.S. Patent,
#6,054,914 "Multi-Layer Transformer Having Electrical Connection in a
Magnetic Core"
- 2001
- March - Granted 2nd U.S. Patent,
#6,198,374 "Multi-Layer Transformer Apparatus and Method"
- June - Midcom, Inc. creates a new
division, NASCENTechnology, to produce, market and sell this new
transformer technology based on LTCC.
- 2002 - First International
out-licensing agreement signed.
- 2003 - LTCC transformer development
for Aerospace and Defense applications begins in conjunction with a
prominent US Department of Energy Lab.
- 2004 - Low Power Series LTCC
transformers developed and released for RS-485 data interface commercial
applications using Maxim Integrated Circuit's MAX3535 integrated
circuit.
- 2004 - First transformer/thick film
resistor modules developed.
- 2007 - NASCENTechnology spun-off from
Midcom, Inc. as separate ANZA, Inc. company.
- 2008 - We begin development of LTCC
power inductors for implantable medical device applications.
- 2008 - Volume production for
defense/aerospace products begins in new state of the art cleanroom in
Watertown, SD U.S.A.
- February 2009 - NASCENTechnology,
LLC is formed.
- March 2009 - NASCENTechnology, LLC
purchases the intellectual property from NASCENTechnology, Inc. and
becomes the new technology development and marketing vehicle for our
ferrite magnetic component business. Subsequently, NASCENTechnology,
Inc. is renamed NASCENTechnology Manufacturing, Inc.
