Microsemi was founded in February 1959 [5] in Culver City, California [6] as MicroSemiconductor. It incorporated in Delaware on September 27, 1960. [7] A trade catalog and price lists from this early period can be found at the Smithsonian Institution. [8]
Microchip Technology was founded in 1987 when General Instrument spun off its microelectronics division as a wholly owned subsidiary. [5] [6] The newly formed company was a supplier of programmable non-volatile memory, microcontrollers, digital signal processors, card chip on board, and consumer integrated circuits.
An (orange-epoxy) encapsulated hybrid circuit on a printed circuit board (PCB).. A hybrid integrated circuit (HIC), hybrid microcircuit, hybrid circuit or simply hybrid is a miniaturized electronic circuit constructed of individual devices, such as semiconductor devices (e.g. transistors, diodes or monolithic ICs) and passive components (e.g. resistors, inductors, transformers, and capacitors ...
A microscope image of an integrated circuit die used to control LCDs.The pinouts are the dark circles surrounding the integrated circuit.. An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or simply chip, is a small electronic device made up of multiple interconnected electronic components such as transistors, resistors, and capacitors.
Microtechnology is technology whose features have dimensions of the order of one micrometre (one millionth of a metre, or 10 −6 metre, or 1μm). [1] It focuses on physical and chemical processes as well as the production or manipulation of structures with one-micrometre magnitude.
In April 2018, Centum signed an agreement to sell its 51% stake in Centum Rakon India Pvt. Ltd., a joint venture with New Zealand company Rakon, to Rakon for US$5.5 million. [18] Centum stated that it did not regard Centum Rakon, which primarily operated in the telecommunications industry, as "core to its strategy". [ 19 ]
Severe PCB corrosion from a leaky PCB mounted Ni-Cd battery. Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are vulnerable to environmental influences; for example, the traces are corrosion-prone and may be improperly etched leaving partial shorts, while the vias may be insufficiently plated through or filled with solder.
