Analog and Mixed Signals (16 Guides)

Analog and mixed signal ICs are integrated circuits in which many discrete logic and/or analog components are fabricated on a single chip of semiconductive material and packaged in a single case to form a functional unit.

Audio and Video IC (4 Guides)

Audio and Video ICs are integrated circuit components that are designed for audio, video and multimedia applications.

Circuit Protection Devices (1 Guide)

Circuit protection devices are used to protect electronic components from unwanted transients such as current and voltage surges, electrostatic discharge (ESD), lightning, spikes and other signals that can imperil the operation or damage the component.

Communication IC (10 Guides)

Communication ICs are integrated circuits used in general telecommunication electronic modules that enable the transmission, reception and analysis of data and signals.

Discrete (28 Guides)

Discrete semiconductors are individually packaged devices or arrays of individual devices (transistors, diodes, SCRs, etc.) that operate at signal levels or are used in power applications.

IC Interface Devices (7 Guides)

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 Optoelectronics (9 Guides)

IC optoelectronics are integrated circuits that combine optical components (i.e. laser optocoupler, LEDs, etc.) with electronic devices or circuits (i.e. transistors, diodes, etc.).

Memory Chips (7 Guides)

Memory chips are integrated circuits that temporarily store data and code for processing.

Microprocessors and Microcontrollers (4 Guides)

Microprocessors and microcontrollers are IC chips that perform arithmetic and logic operations.

Programmable Logic Devices (6 Guides)

Programmable logic devices have configurable logic and flip-flops linked together by programmable interconnects. Memory cells control and define the functions that the logic performs, and how the various logic functions are interconnected. 

Sensor Chips (4 Guides)

Sensor chips are integrated circuits or dies incorporating semiconductor circuit elements that are used to detect and/or respond to changes in some physical parameter and convert it to an electrical signal.

Timing Circuits (4 Guides)

IC timing devices are integrated circuits that generate, control, keep, and apply time and frequency to electronic systems.
