Products & services
Cirrus Logic’s products are organized into Audio and High-Performance Mixed-Signal (HPMS) product lines. Audio products include amplifiers, codecs incorporating analog-to-digital and digital-to-analog converters, smart codecs with integrated digital signal processing (DSP), standalone DSPs, and SoundClear software, tools, and algorithms. They support functions including audio playback, voice capture, speaker protection and enhancement, and hearing augmentation. As one example, the CS35L45 boosted amplifier provides 6.8 W mono Class-D output and Class-H boost up to 15 V.[8][9][10]
HPMS products include camera controllers for autofocus and optical image stabilization, haptics and sensing components for tactile feedback, and battery and power ICs. The line also includes products for imaging applications; for example, the CS82L44 combines a four-channel scanner analog front end, image-sensor ADC, analog conditioning, and LED driver.[11][12][13]
SoundClear is a portfolio of audio software, tools, and algorithms. Cirrus also offers product-development and evaluation resources such as SoundClear Studio and WISCE for exploring, configuring, and tuning product capabilities. In FY2026, Audio generated $1,159.9 million, approximately 58.1% of revenue, and HPMS generated $837.4 million, approximately 41.9%; the percentages are calculated from reported product-line and total revenue.[9][14][15][6] [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][6][10][12][13][14][15]

Business segments
Cirrus Logic reports **one operating and reportable segment**; Audio and HPMS are product lines, not separately reported segments, because the company does not maintain complete discrete financial information for them.[20][2]
The **Audio** product line includes audio components such as amplifiers, codecs, smart codecs, and DSPs, serving consumer and professional audio applications. **HPMS** (high-performance mixed-signal) products include camera-control, haptic and sensing, battery, and power ICs, with applications primarily in smartphones and also in automotive, industrial, and imaging markets.[9][11]
For FY2026, Audio generated $1,159.9 million, approximately **58%** of reported product-line sales, and HPMS generated $837.4 million, approximately **42%**; these percentages are calculated from the reported product-line amounts.[21] The latest filing identified in the available research is FY2027 Q1; it reported Audio revenue of $249.0 million (about **54%**) and HPMS revenue of $210.7 million (about **46%**) for that quarter.[22] [20][2][9][11][21][22]
Company history
Cirrus Logic was founded in 1984 and became a publicly traded company in 1989. Its official history records a first audio patent in 1987 and the 1991 acquisition of Crystal Semiconductor, a milestone in developing its audio and mixed-signal capabilities.[23][24]
In 2007, Jason Rhode became president and CEO. Cirrus expanded its audio signal-processing capabilities with the 2013 acquisition of Acoustic Technologies, followed in 2014 by the acquisition of Wolfson Microelectronics, which added to its audio portfolio.[25][26][27]
John Forsyth succeeded Rhode as president and CEO on January 1, 2021.[28] [23][24][25][26][27][28]
