We are a leading global supplier of high performance analog, mixed-signal
semiconductors and advanced algorithms and were incorporated in Delaware in
1960. We design, develop, manufacture and market a wide range of products for
commercial applications, the majority of which are sold into the enterprise
computing, communications, high-end consumer and industrial end-markets.
Enterprise Computing: datacenters, passive optical networks, desktops, notebooks,
servers, monitors, printers and other computer peripherals.
Communications: base stations, optical networks, carrier networks, switches
and routers, cable modems, wireless LAN and other communication infrastructure
equipment.
High-End Consumer: handheld products, smartphones, wireless charging, set-top
boxes, digital televisions, monitors and displays, tablets, wearables, digital
video recorders and other consumer equipment.
Industrial: analog and digital video broadcast equipment, video-over-IP solutions,
automated meter reading, Internet of Things ("IoT"), smart grid, wireless
charging, military and aerospace, medical, security systems, automotive, industrial
and home automation and other industrial equipment.
Our end-customers are primarily original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs")
and their suppliers.
Signal Integrity Products. We design, develop and market a portfolio of optical
data communications and video transport products used in a wide variety of enterprise
computing, industrial, communications and high-end consumer applications. Our
comprehensive portfolio of integrated circuits ("ICs") for data centers,
enterprise networks, passive optical networks ("PON"), and wireless
basestation optical transceivers and high-speed interfaces ranges from 100Mbps
to 400Gbps and supports key industry standards such as Fibre Channel, Infiniband,
Ethernet, PON and SONET. Our video products offer advanced solutions for next
generation video broadcast applications, as well as highly differentiated video
over IP technology for Pro AV applications.
Protection Products. We design, develop and market high performance protection
devices, which are often referred to as transient voltage suppressors ("TVS").
TVS devices provide protection for electronic systems where voltage spikes (called
transients), such as electrostatic discharge ("ESD"), electrical over
stress ("EOS") or secondary lightning surge energy, can permanently
damage sensitive semiconductor ICs. Our portfolio of protection solutions include
filter and termination devices that are integrated with the TVS device. Our
products provide robust protection while preserving signal integrity in high-speed
communications, networking and video interfaces. These products also operate
at very low voltage. Our protection products can be found in a broad range of
applications including smart phones, LCD and organic light-emitting diode TVs,
set-top boxes, monitors and displays, tablets, computers, notebooks, base stations,
routers, automobile and industrial instruments.
Wireless and Sensing Products. We design, develop and market a portfolio of
specialized RF products used in a wide variety of industrial, medical and communications
applications, and specialized sensing products used in industrial and consumer
applications. Our wireless products, which include our LoRa® devices and
wireless radio frequency technology ("LoRa Technology"), feature industry
leading and longest range industrial, scientific and medical radio, enabling
a lower total cost of ownership and increased reliability in all environments.
This makes these products particularly suitable for machine-to-machine (M2M)
and IoT applications. Our unique sensing technology enables smart proximity
sensing and advanced user interface solutions for mobile and consumer products.
Our wireless and sensing products can be found in a broad range of applications
in the industrial, medical and consumer markets.
Power and High-Reliability Products. We design, develop and market power product
devices that control, alter, regulate and condition the power within electronic
systems. The highest volume product types within the Power product line are
switching voltage regulators, combination switching and linear regulators, smart
regulators, isolated switches and wireless charging. Our Power products feature
highly integrated functionality for the communications, industrial and computing
markets and low-power, small form factor and high-efficiency products for smart
phones and other mobile devices, home automation and other consumer devices.
Our High-Reliability discrete semiconductor products are comprised of rectifiers,
assemblies (packaged discrete rectifiers) and other products that are typically
used to convert alternating currents into direct currents and to protect circuits
against very high voltage spikes or high current surges. Our High-Reliability
products can be found in a broad range of applications including industrial,
military, medical, automotive, aerospace and defense systems, including satellite
communications.
Systems Innovation Group. Prior to the third quarter of fiscal year 2017, we
had a Systems Innovation Group which combined the analog/mixed signal design
competencies from our previous Sierra Monolithics, Inc. ("SMI") and
Gennum Corporation ("Gennum") acquisitions and was chartered with
developing innovative analog/mixed signal intellectual property (“IP”)
for emerging systems.
