Application-specific standard products (and customs) are two-thirds of the market for analog and mixed signal ICs. They include specialized parts for Communications, Automotive Applications, Disk Drives and Data Storage. Since these devices seldom appear in parts catalogs or on distributor’s shelves, the current product list is culled from EDTN news sources and various technology showcases.
