If there was a big buzz about anything at APEC, it was about TI's brilliant move in snapping up the Bethlem, Penn. company and its portfolio of IP related to extremely high-performance CMOS FETs. I had an opportunity to talk to Ciclon Semiconductor founder Mark Granahan, along with Texas Instruments’ senior power-management VP, Steve Anderson about TI's acquisition of Ciclon.
