About THAT Corporation
THAT Corporation is headquartered in Milford, Massachusetts, with additional offices in Tokyo, Japan, and Milpitas, California. The company was founded in April 1989 when senior managers and engineers from dbx, Inc. executed a management buyout of dbx's OEM division, bringing with them a heritage that included the first high-performance integrated VCA and Emmy‑award‑winning BTSC noise‑reduction technology. Today THAT designs and manufactures high‑performance analog integrated circuits — digitally controlled and analog microphone preamplifiers, Blackmer® voltage‑controlled amplifiers, Analog Engine® dynamics processors, InGenius® line receivers, OutSmarts® line drivers, phase‑locked loops, and transistor arrays. It also licenses audio DSP intellectual property (Total Sonics®, Total Surround®, Total Volume®, Total Immersion®, Total Cal®) and digital Verilog code for legacy TV‑audio standards (BTSC, NICAM, A2, EIA‑J, FM Stereo). The company operates its own 4‑inch (100 mm) wafer fabrication facility in Milpitas, offering standard 40 V complementary bipolar dielectric‑isolation and 36 V junction‑isolation processes, plus boutique and a‑la‑carte wafer services such as epitaxial deposition, CVD nitride/oxide, laser‑trimmable thin‑film resistors, and wafer grinding and polishing. Its components serve the professional audio industry — mixing consoles, signal processors, and studio gear — while its DSP and TV‑audio licenses are used by consumer‑electronics and IC manufacturers worldwide. The Tokyo office supports licensing business across the Pacific Rim, and the Silicon Valley fab positions the company near major West Coast customers. THAT differentiates itself by controlling the entire IC production chain in a facility dedicated to high‑performance audio, an extensive patent portfolio in TV‑audio technology, and a focus on dielectric‑isolation processing that delivers higher breakdown voltages and better transistor isolation.
