Products & Services
Arithmetic Logic Units (ALU)
Arithmetic logic units (ALU) perform arithmetic and logic operations on binary data inputs. In some processors, the ALU is divided into two units: an arithmetic unit (AU) and a logic unit (LU).
Logic Adders
Logic adders are digital devices that are capable of adding binary numbers. There are two basic types: half-adders and full-adders.
Error Correction Chips
Error correction chips are semiconductor ICs that are used to check and to correct data transmission errors.
Video Processor ICs
Video processors IC are semiconductor devices used to process video images from a diverse range of activities.
Pushwheel Switches
Pushwheel switches are rotary switches that operate using a rolling wheel. They are also known as thumbwheel switches.
