 | | Signetics, once a major player in semiconductor manufacturing, made a variety of devices which included integrated circuits, bipolar and MOS, the Dolby circuit, logic, memory and analog circuits and Motorola clone CPUs, some of which were included in the first Atari video games. |
 | | Signetics was started in 1961 by a group of engineers -- David Allison, David James, Lionel Kattner, and Mark Weissenstern -- who left Fairchild Semiconductor. |
 | | Signetics founders believed that ICs were the future of electronics (much like another contemporary Fairchild spinoff, Amelco,) and wished to commercialize them. |
