The Company Profile
Brief History
The company, Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) was founded by two MIT graduates,
Ray Stata and Matthew Lorber in 1965. The same year, the company released its first
product, the model 101 op amp, which was a hockey-puck sized module used in test and
measurement equipment. In 1967, the company published the first issue of its technical
In 1969, Analog Devices filed an initial public offering and became a publicly
traded company. Ten years later, the company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
In 1973, the company was the first to launch laser trim wafers and the first CMOS
revenue. That same year, Jerald Fishman was named President and CEO, a position he held
By 2004, ADI had a customer base of 60,000 and its portfolio included over 10,000
products.

NAME: CHRISTIAN L. FALLA
Having a visit at the Analog Devices Inc., was one of the best plant tour that I have
experienced, why? Because just seeing the front gate of the ADI gave me a very good
impression, its like you are in a different country just seeing the entrance gate, and the
facilities outside was good also. Afterwards, entering the main lobby of the company gave
me a thinking of “this is what I want and this is where I want to go”, the lobby is like a five
star hotel and very cozy, the soothing air and the relaxing music and the accommodating
staff made us very welcome. Moving on to the training room, I have seen the employees
desk and their workplace, gave me again a thinking of “someday I’ll be in this place”,
because I have always dreamed of having a workplace like in the ADI. Afterwards, we
moved into the training room where the presentation and history of the ADI., was
presented. While the presentation, they introduced to us who developed the ADI., we have
also seen how their buildings evolved from one to four. They also introduced to us how
their company works and their process, and also their different kind of products and the
software and machine that they are using. Moving on, the last part was the tour of their
different laboratories, this time I was really rrally amazed of this company because I have
seen how clean, how organized and how advanced their technology was. Seeing inside the
different laboratory with people inside of it working was very satisfying to look because
once again, their laboratory workplace was one of my prospects of where I want to work

in. After the tour inside, I can’t forget how the ADI company is good, until now I keep on
In this plant tour, I have first learned how important the time management for the
industry. The first part of this plant tour was the presentation about the Analog Devices
Inc., its history, branches, and all the type of devices that they are making or providing to
the market. In this presentation, I have learned the different process of making components
inside the company and take note that they are not only focusing analog devices, they are
also making and providing digital devices to the market and especially in the military and
aircraft field. I also learned the kind of process that they are using in providing a good
quality of devices, which includes their testing, assembling, and even programming of the
devices.
After the presentation about the company, we proceed to the main course, which is
the plant tour in the Analog Devices Inc., Where they show us the real machines and
equipment that they are using in production, how they are testing the quality of each
component that they are made, and how clean the environment must be so that the devices
In this plant tour I’ve also learned the importance of respecting everyone in
the workplace and the essence of being responsible or disciplined in the industry.

NAME: JUAN CARLO F. GREGANDA
In this plant visit, I learned firstly is that, be on time. The number one values of
Analog Devices Inc., is that, respect everyone. You should be on time and never be late
whenever there’s a gathering because time is gold for Professionals. The first thing we did
in the company was the power point presentation. They introduces what is Analog devices
and what Analog devices do. Then they’ve started showing what they do in the
semiconductor industry and how they process their products. I’ve learned in the
presentation how semiconductor industry works and what they do. I learned that Analog
specializes data conversion and signal processing. After that we made a tour in the
production and we saw how they process and how the products were done. I learned and
understand the safety measures and what I shouldn’t do whenever I’m in a semiconductor
industry. I also learned the functions of some of their devices, machines and technologies.
What I really appreciated in the company is that, they didn’t let their employees feel like a
prisoner or they didn’t want them to stress a lot in the company. They have leisure, events,
gym, and the employees were the one who holds their time but they have to finish their
tasks in time. I learned that you really need to treat your employees right and you need to
show them good values for you to get good things in return.

This company values time, work, respect and social well-being of its employees
and vise versa. This was shown as how dedicated and welcoming they are from the first
The students were assembled on a meeting hall of ADI Building 4 where the HR
Management gave the briefings on the do’s and don’ts of the company. We were advised
that taking pictures inside the company was restricted as the facilities inside were
confidential. Furthermore, the presentation started on the brief history of the company,
followed by the other crucial information on what they are doing for the industry. Going
through the presentation, I realized that what we actually have the basic information on the
production of integrated circuits and logic devices. These were lectured to us on our major
subjects such as the Electronics 1 and 2, Logic Circuits and Switching Theory, Computer
Architecture and Organization, Digital Signal Processing, Control Systems, as well as the
Microelectronics.
After the presentation, we proceeded on the plant tour, where we were introduced
on the different facilities of ADI. As such, they were very conservative of the cleanliness
of their working areas where they manufacture and test the devices on different aspects
such as the temperature and accuracy. They also have their own building for producing and

storing Liquid Nitrogen for absolute zero temperature testings. Moreover, they use
programming languages which were known to us namely Python, C and VB.NET, also
Overall, the plant tour was one of our best moments of our lives as the company
was exquisite in terms of the structural design, laboratories, office areas and etc. They have
During this plant tour, we first learned that being on time is a huge factor in the
industry. Analog Devices Inc.'s number one values are that, respect everyone, whether what
it is you should respect others so that there is no conflict within the workspace. In the
industry time is the most valuable asset that the company have, wasting time is like wasting
money. The company provided a presentation about what Analog Devices Inc. is and what
do they do. I learned the process of making a semiconductor and what are the raw materials
used in creating such product. The company also showed us the different machines and
equipment they used to create, test, assemble and program the integrated circuit. After the
presentation we proceed to the production, and showed us the machines and equipment that
they used, they also further explain on how the semiconductors were made in each machine
and how it is being process. I learned in this plant tour on a semiconductor company the
safety measures of the company. I also learned how the machines, devices and technologies
were used in developing a certain product. This plant visit taught me the value of time, to
respect each other, and I learned new things, like the softwares that the company used when
they are training their employees that are commercially available and easy to use with
On our plant tour, first thing I’ve noticed that being on time is very important to
their company. Not necessarily you have to come early, but you should not be late
everytime. I’ve learned that when you are there, you should respect everyone in front of
specialized on data conversion and signal processing technology. ADI gave us the
overview of what the company do and also the history. They showed us that ADI continues
to thrive in the semiconductor industry. Also, they explained on how their product
processed. They showed us the step by step of building a product. After presenting the
overview, we began to tour in the production. They showed and explained us the everything
we see on the surroundings, even the pictures and the miniature of the whole production.
Also, they explained us what’s on every room we saw. I’ve learned new devices or machine
and their functions. ADI is very good on treating their employees, they are not very strict
inside the company. Actually, they gave a time for their employees to have a break, not
The documents attested with the report function as evidences which serve to
establish several facts, and rely upon as proofs of the student’s seminars and field trips.
