IC interface devices or gate drivers provide the required current and voltage necessary to switch or power an electronic component based on the output signals from a logic device.
IC Interface Devices Categories
CCFL Controller ICs (14 suppliers)
CCFL controllers provide control functions for direct drive inverters used to operate cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL). CCFLs are used for back or edge lighting of liquid crystal flat panel displays (LCFPD) .
Codec ICs (67 suppliers)
Codec IC chips are used to encode and decode (or compress and decompress) various types of data, particularly when the bulk storage is required.
Gate Drivers (114 suppliers)
Gate drivers are electronic circuits that apply correct power levels to metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs).
IC Bus Interfaces and Controllers (108 suppliers)
IC bus interfaces and bus controllers or bus masters are interfaces between most standard parallel-bus microcontrollers or microprocessors and the serial bus.
IC Interfaces (422 suppliers)
IC interfaces are semiconductor chips that are used to control and manage the sharing of information between devices.
IC PCI Bridges (34 suppliers)
PCI bridges are semiconductors that expand the number of slots available on PCI devices.
IP Cores (102 suppliers)
Intellectual property (IP) cores are pre-designed, pre-tested, integrated circuits or boards of industry-standard functions that can be easily used in embedded applications. Generally IP cores are treated as intellectual property and are licensed to OEMs.
Laser Drivers (61 suppliers)
Laser drivers control and manage the operation of lasers used for switching in optical networks.
LCD Drivers (99 suppliers)
LCD drivers are semiconductor chips used to power and control liquid crystal displays (LCDs).
LED Drivers (261 suppliers)
LED drivers control the amount of current and voltage supplied to light emitting diodes (LEDs), when in operation.
RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 Interfaces (55 suppliers)
RS-232, RS-422, and RS-485 are standard interfaces approved by the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) for connecting serial devices. They are serial communication standards providing asynchronous communication capability with hardware flow control, software flow control, and parity check.
Sensor Interface Chips (46 suppliers)
Sensor interface chips are used as interfaces to sensors and other devices. The input at the interface collects data from the sensor and the output of the interface sends the data to a computer or other suitable device.
