Wolfson electrical products

Wolfson Microelectronics was a renowned Scottish microchip design company based in Edinburgh, primarily known for its high-performance mixed-signal semiconductors and audio silicon solutions used in consumer electronics like the iPod and various smartphones. Founded in 1984 by researchers from the University of Edinburgh, the company established itself as a leader in the global audio technology market.

In 2014, the brand underwent a significant transition when it was acquired by the American semiconductor giant Cirrus Logic. Today, the legacy of Wolfson's engineering is integrated into the broader Cirrus Logic portfolio. While the original research and development were deeply rooted in the United Kingdom, manufacturing is distributed globally across various semiconductor fabrication plants in Asia and North America.
