Atmel Corporation
- 1984: Atmel founded.
- 1999: Atmel first Wi-Fi chip (AT76C501 802.11b MAC)[1]
- 2012: Atmel acquires Ozmo Devices (Wi-Fi Direct SoCs)
- 2014: Atmel acquires Newport Media (low power Wi-Fi SoCs)
- 2016: Atmel acquired by Microchip
Currently offers Internet of Things low-power 802.11b/g/n SoCs,
- no current PCIe/USB/SDIO chipsets.
