Vectron International (Microchip Technology) : Frequency Control & Timing Solutions Manufacturer
Advertisement
Vectron International was a well established manufacturer specializing in precision frequency control, timing, and synchronization technologies. Founded in 1962, the company developed high performance crystal based timing components, oscillators, filters, sensors, and integrated timing solutions for demanding applications across aerospace, defense, telecommunications, industrial automation, networking, medical equipment, and instrumentation.
In 2017, Microsemi Corporation acquired Vectron’s high performance timing business, and following Microsemi’s acquisition by Microchip Technology in 2018, the Vectron product portfolio became part of Microchip’s comprehensive Frequency and Time Systems business.
