Integrated Circuits (ICs)

- The Seiko Instruments Inc. semiconductor business has been spun off as a separate joint-venture entity called SII Semiconductor Corporation through joint investment with the Development Bank of Japan Inc. (DBJ) and commenced operation in January 2016. Leveraging DBJ’s extensive network and know-how in the field of M&A strategy, this new company aims to establish a global presence in the semiconductor industry.

- Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) defines innovation and excellence in signal processing. ADI's analog, mixed-signal, and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits (IC) play a fundamental role in converting, conditioning, and processing real-world phenomena such as light, sound, temperature, motion, and pressure into electrical signals to be used in a wide array of electronic equipment. ADI is synonymous with high performance among electronics manufacturers and we collaborate with our customers to define the very best in the quality of the user experience. That means the clearest image, crispest sound, and optimum interface, size and performance in thousands of entertainment, medical, communications, industrial and other applications. Analog Devices, Inc. has completed its acquisition of Hittite Microwave Corporation. Hittite will be part of ADI’s RF and Microwave Group (RFMG). Analog Devices, Inc. acquires Linear Technology: With the combined 80 years of technology excellence, ADI becomes "The Premier Global Analog Technology Company". This new comprehensive portfolio gives customers an edge by market leading position, innovation, and commitment. More Information
