IXYS Corporation, an integrated semiconductor company, designs, develops, manufactures, and markets power semiconductors, digital and analog integrated circuits (ICs), and systems and radio frequency (RF) power semiconductors worldwide. Its power semiconductors include power metal-oxide-silicon field-effect transistors and insulated-gate bipolar transistors; and thyristors and rectifiers, such as fast-recovery epitaxial diodes. The companyÂ’s ICs comprise solid state relays; line card access switch and data access arrangements integrated products; application specific integrated circuits; power management and control ICs; and microcontrollers. Its RF power semiconductors consist of field-effect transistors, pseudomorphic-high-electron-mobility transistors, and Gunn diodes which enable the amplification or reception of radio frequencies in telecommunication, industrial, defense, and space applications; and systems and other products comprise laser diode drivers, high voltage pulse generators and modulators, high power subsystems, and direct copper bond substrates. The companyÂ’s power semiconductors are used to control electricity in power conversion systems, motor drives, and medical electronics; and ICs are used to interface with telecommunication lines, control power semiconductors, and drive medical equipment and displays, as well as to integrate peripheral functions, such as network connectivity, timers, serial communication, analog-to-digital conversion, and display drivers on companyÂ’s micrologic devices. IXYS Corporation markets and sells its products through direct sales personnel, independent representatives, and distributors. The company was founded in 1983 and is headquartered in Milpitas, California. |
