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.
