Digital Semiconductors Market: Introduction
- The semiconductor industry can be broadly divided into analog semiconductor products and digital semiconductor products. Analog semiconductors control ‘real world’ functions such as temperature, speed, sound, and electrical current.
- Digital semiconductors process binary information used by computers. Mixed signal devices have both analog and digital functions on a single chip to enable digital electronics to communicate with the outside world.
- Mixed signal devices combine analogue and digital functions on a single chip to enable digital electronics to communicate with the outside world
- Manufacturers of analog semiconductors generally require less production investment, as their systems are less dependent on state-of-the-art production systems for the production of the latest process technologies than digital manufacturers.
- The analog industry relies more on designers and application experts to differentiate their products than the digital industry
- Advances in digital processing technologies typically require advances in analog and mixed-signal solutions.
- Digital semiconductors are used in various applications in televisions, refrigerators, washing machines, digital cameras, smartphones, etc.
