These excerpts taken from the LLTC 10-K filed Aug 25, 2008. Importance of Individual Design
Contribution. The Company believes that the creativity of
individual design engineers is of particular importance in the linear integrated
circuit industry. The design of a linear integrated circuit generally
involves greater variety and less repetition of integrated circuit elements than
digital design. In addition, the interaction of linear integrated
circuit elements is complex, and the exact placement of these elements in the
integrated circuit is critical to the circuit's precision and
performance. Computer-aided engineering and design tools for linear
integrated circuits are not as accurate in modeling circuits as those tools used
for designing digital circuits. As a result, the contributions of a
relatively small number of individual design engineers are generally of greater
importance in the design of linear integrated circuits than in the design of
digital circuits.
