History

In 2009, ASMedia became the first company in Taiwan to obtain USB-IF Association certification for its USB 3.0 device controller chip, followed by certification for its host controller chip in 2011.
In 2014, VIA won a courtcase against ASMedia, after it sued ASMedia for using confidential VIA intellectual property related to USB technology, obtained from ex-VIA employees who had joined ASMedia.
In 2015, ASMedia became the first company in the world to obtain USB-IF Association certification for its USB 3.1 host controller chip and USB 3.1 to SATA bridge controller chip.
In 2016, the company launched the world's first second-generation integrated Type-C USB 3.1 to SATA bridge controller chip and obtained USB-IF Association certification.
In 2019, it unveiled the world's first USB 3.2 Gen2x2 controller chip and was selected as one of Forbes Asia's 200 Best Under A Billion companies.
In 2023, ASMedia became the first company in the world to obtain USB-IF Association certification for its USB4 device controller chip, USB4 with Thunderbolt 3 device controller chip and USB 3.2 Gen2x2 hub controller chip.
In 2024, the ASMedia ASM4242 USB4 Host Controller Chip Achieves Thunderbolt 4 Certification.
