Analog Devices is Sand 9 buyer

Piezoelectric MEMS resonator startup Sand 9 Inc. (Cambridge, Mass.) was acquired by Analog Devices Inc. (Norwood, Mass.) in June 2015, according to a technology consultant who works for companies on timing circuits. Several sources also emailed EE Times Europe to say that Analog Devices had bought Sand 9.
It was revealed last month that Sand 9's website and phone numbers were no longer operating and that its former CEO and other executives had left the company in May (see Well-backed MEMS startup closed?).
Consultant, Mark Sherwood, principal associate with Consulting Services and Associates LLC (Cupertino, Calif.), told EE Times Europe that although the piezoelectric technology showed promise Sand 9 had hit technical issues amidst changing markets and effectively outlasted investors' patience.
