Credo Semiconductor Inc.

Credo Technology Group Holding Ltd, commonly known as Credo Semiconductor Inc. or Credo, is a semiconductor company headquartered in San Jose, California, USA. Founded in 2008, Credo has been publicly traded on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol CRDO since January 2022. The company employs over 600 people globally and reported a fiscal year 2025 revenue of approximately $437 million, with projections exceeding $800 million for fiscal year 2026.

Credo specializes in high-speed, energy-efficient connectivity solutions for data infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven applications, cloud computing, and hyperscale networks. As a fabless semiconductor company, Credo designs products that facilitate data movement at speeds up to 1.6 terabits per second (Tbps). Its diverse product portfolio includes Active Electrical Cables (AECs), optical Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), retimers (e.g., PCIe 6 retimers), SerDes (Serializer/Deserializer) IP licenses and chiplets, and ZeroFlap Optical Transceivers. The company also offers the PILOT diagnostic and analytics software platform.

Credo actively asserts its intellectual property, as evidenced by its patent litigation posture. The company has appeared in two tracked cases as a plaintiff and zero as a defendant, indicating a strategy of protecting its patented technologies. Both recent cases were filed in 2025 in the Delaware District Court and the International Trade Commission (ITC).

Notable recent cases include Credo Semiconductor Inc. et al. v. Molex, LLC (Delaware District Court, 2025-03-18) and Credo Semiconductor Inc. et al. v. Amphenol Corporation et al. (ITC, 2025-03-13). These lawsuits alleged patent infringement related to Credo's Active Electrical Cable (AEC) technology, which the company states it developed starting in 2017. Credo has since reached license and settlement agreements with Amphenol (August 2025), Molex (March 2026), and 3M Company (January 2026) regarding these patent disputes. In April 2026, Credo also announced an agreement to acquire DustPhotonics to expand its optical interconnect technology portfolio.
