THAT Corporation
@thatcorp.com
THAT Corporation’s mission is to provide best-in-class technology solutions to design engineers in the form of analog integrated circuits or as licensed TV-audio intellectual property. We accomplish this through a combination of careful, innovative designs, quality-conscious manufacturing and superior customer service. The company was founded in April of 1989 by senior managers and engineers from dbx, Inc., the world-renowned audio engineering company whose developments included the first high-performance integrated VCA, Emmy-award winning BTSC dbx-tv Noise Reduction technology, and the first integrated 20-bit analog-to-digital converter. The founders and others within the senior management team participated in these accomplishments, and have made this heritage of innovation and engineering excellence an integral part of THAT Corporation's philosophy and culture. Originally formed through a management buyout of the dbx OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) division, it has expanded the range of its products and services to include these distinct categories: Integrated Circuits, dbx-tv Audio Licensing, and IC Foundry Services. The company is headquartered in Massachusetts, with offices in Tokyo, Silicon Valley, Georgia and Washington.

About THAT Corporation
THAT Corporation, based in Milford, MA, is a leading brand that specializes in providing technology solutions to design engineers. Their offerings include analog integrated circuits and licensed TV-audio intellectual property. The company is renowned for its line of integrated circuit voltage controlled amplifiers (VCAs), which are widely used in the professional audio industry.
Founded in 1989 by senior managers and engineers from dbx, THAT Corporation has a rich heritage of innovation and engineering excellence. They have expanded their product range to include integrated circuits, dbx-tv® audio licensing, and foundry services. THAT Corporation's current design efforts focus on analog audio input and output ICs, rms detectors, and Analog Engines.
They employ advanced process technology, called dielectric isolation (DI) fabrication, for manufacturing their components. This technology ensures higher device-to-device breakdown voltages, improved isolation between transistors, and faster speeds. THAT Corporation operates its own semiconductor fabrication facility in California, making it the only IC production facility primarily dedicated to high-performance audio components.
The company holds an extensive patent portfolio in TV audio technology and licenses their technology worldwide. They maintain a strong presence in Silicon Valley and the West Coast, where many of their major customers are located. THAT Corporation is committed to providing high-quality engineering for audio electronics and serves as an active participant in the audio industry.
They continue to provide integrated and licensed electronics to leading professional audio and industrial manufacturers globally
