With more than 30 years experience in the industrial market, we have the expertise to design and deliver products that meet the requirements of the most demanding industrial applications.

The harsh environmental conditions of heat, electrical noise and high-voltage typical of industrial environments require high quality, reliable, and robust semiconductor solutions. As a leading-edge supplier to the automotive and military/aerospace industries, we understand and adhere to the toughest industry standards, including ISO/TS16949.

Extensive System Know-How

Our circuits can be found in many applications in every facet of the industrial market. Leveraging our core technology areas of sensor interfaces, timers and clock management products , building network transceivers for communication and process control, (stepper) motor drivers, circuit breakers and motor protection, power line carrier modems, high- and low-voltage interfaces, and low-power/low-data rate wireless communication interfaces, our team helps customers build their systems by providing high precision analog functions and smart power functions.

Our flexible mixed-signal design flow can accommodate specific design and procurement needs of industrial customers and allows us to deliver the best value, fastest time-to-market silicon solutions.

Emerging technologies in industrial product design require higher levels of integration, combining such functions as automatic temperature and energy control, with LCD touch screen and message centers. Our design engineers can help design one ASIC that drives many functions in a single industrial end product. Our world-class digital ASIC conversion services can also help our customers achieve a cost-effective single-ASIC solution to reduce overall system cost. We offer standard cell ASICs that support operating voltages from 1.2V to 5V with 110nm to 0.5µm geometries.

ASSPs for specific applications (stepper motor drivers, HART modems, CAN transceivers, clocks, S-FSK powerline modem) are ready-to-use solutions saving development costs and time, while offering solutions to the highest standards. The ASSPs are provided with development tools to facilitate evaluation and design-in. These parts, at the same time, demonstrate our technology and design capabilities.

Process Longevity

In the industrial market, extended life cycles are the norm. Vendors seek to avoid re-design by using pre-tested, pre-deployed components. They have to know that their silicon vendor will be there for them for many years to come. Our foundry team has built a reputation for keeping needed processes available to accommodate its customers' long-term needs.
