Applications for Hall Effect IC Switches in Portable Applications

From ROHM Semiconductor, USA LLC
 

 

According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, consumer electronics became the largest user and primary driver of semiconductors in 2004 and continues to increase over the corporate market segment. In consumer electronics, portable products are the fastest growing area. With cell phones alone projected to grow from over a billion units in 2007 to almost 1.5 billion in 2010 according to market research firm Gartner Dataquest, it should be no surprise.

While providing high volume opportunites for suppliers of the right components, consumer electronics and especially the portable consumer electronics portion places high demand on suppliers, requiring small size, high functionality, low
power consumption and low cost as the major criteria for acceptance.
