Maxscend was founded in 2006 by severalSilicon Valley employees who returned to China to developmobile television chips. The popularity of them peaked during the2008 Summer Olympics. However, due to the development ofsmartphones, there was a demand for more intelligent chips and the market networks were moving to4G. The company transformed to meet this new strategy and in 2012 restructured to become ajoint-stock company.[2][3][4]
Maxscend focused onresearch and development to come up with new products as its initial funding had dried up and there was no demand for its existing products. UsingTSMC's latestRF CMOS process, Maxscend was able to launch its first RF low-noise amplifier in 2013. After this, RF front end became the main focus of the company.[2][3][4]
