In 1981, LSI was founded in Milpitas, California, under the name LSI Logic Corporation. At the time, it focused on semiconductor application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). In 1983, the firm went public on the NASDAQ stock exchange, earning the largest initial public offering to that date. LSI Logic built its own wafer fabrication, testing and packaging facilities, but it used Toshiba’s facilities to manufacture extra quantities. By outsourcing some of its fabrication, LSI was considered a “fab-lite” operation.

From 1984 to 1985, LSI Logic established independent affiliate companies in Japan, Canada and Europe. Over time, the company also increased its product line and moved toward “system on a chip” (SoC) solutions. In 1998, it purchased Symbios Logic from Hyundai; three years later it bought C-Cube. In 2005, LSI announced that it would sell its Oregon manufacturing facility to become a completely “fabless” operation and reduce production costs. Fabless facilities specialize in the design and sales of semiconductor chips and hardware devices, but they outsource the actual fabrication. In 2007, LSI finalized a merger with Agere Systems, rebranding the company as LSI Corporation. LSI ranked number eight in revenue among fabless companies in 2010.
