Benefits of Electronics Integration
Sweeping up a number of electronic components into a single device delivers tremendous benefits. This miniaturized solution is referred to as an integrated circuit, IC, ASIC, or simply chip.
Cost SavingsIntegrated circuits provide major costs savings over a discrete solution at all production volumes.
|
Size (Miniaturization)An IC can easily achieve a 10x or even 100x size reduction over a PCB of discrete components.
|
WeightIoT, medical, wearable and aerospace application are just some of the applications where reducing electronics weight is a must. IC miniaturization also delivers major weight savings.
|
Power Savings |
Simplified ManufacturingReplacing tens or hundreds of components with a single IC simplifies inventory management, reduces assembly cost and significantly lowers final product cost while improving reliability.
|
IP ProtectionIntegrating your circuits into a custom IC locks up your IP so that it is difficult to copy or clone. An ASIC is an excellent way to secure your intellectual property and supply chain.

Traditional analog* IC design is too expensive and time consumer to keep pace with the explosive growth in analog* applications.
