TranSwitch files for Ch. 7 bankruptcy

Unable to raise enough money to cover its financing and other liabilities, Shelton semiconductor maker TranSwitch Corp. filed for Ch. 7 bankruptcy Thursday.

The company has liabilities of $17.2 million, while it values its property, equipment, patents and other assets at $3.5 million, according to its filing in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Bridgeport.

The company lost nearly $46 million between 2010 and 2012.

TranSwitch warned investors in March that it would not make it through year end without a capital infusion. Although it raised $3.7 million through a stock offering in April, and also modified its loan with Bridge Bank, it wasn’t enough.
