Brief History
LSI Logic was founded in Milpitas, CA by Wilfred Corrigan in 1981 after he left an executive position with Fairchild Semiconductor. LSI Logic is often recognized as a pioneer of the ASIC market and in 2006 celebrated their 25th year of business. When LSI Logic was started with $6 million of venture capital they utilized excess capacity at Toshiba for manufacturing, an early example of the fabless semiconductor manufacturing model.
