We are a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of high-performance analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing integrated circuits. Since our inception in 1965, we have focused on solving the engineering challenges associated with signal processing in electronic equipment. Signal processing is where the analog and digital worlds meet to provide the advantages of digital technology to the real world. Our products play a fundamental role in converting real-world phenomena such as temperature, motion, pressure, light and sound into electrical signals to be used in a wide array of electronic equipment ranging from industrial process control, factory automation equipment, security systems, defense electronics, base stations, central office equipment, wireless telephones, computers, automobiles, CAT scanners, digital cameras and DVD players. Signal processing is the cornerstone of high-speed communications, digital entertainment, and other consumer, computer and industrial applications. As new generations of digital applications evolve, they generate new needs for high-performance analog and digital signal processing, or DSP, technology. We produce a wide range of products that are designed to meet the technology needs of a broad base of customers.
