Top Manufacturers
At IC Chip, every team member has extensive experience in the electronics supply industry. Thanks to their knowledge, an extensive network of top-of-the-line suppliers and manufacturers has been developed, enabling us to provide our customers with access to high-quality components at extremely attractive prices. We are not a contracted distributor for any individual manufacturer. We operate freely and independently to source hard-to-find and obsolete/discontinued components for our customers around the world at the most competitive prices – within the shortest possible timeframe or to meet a desired delivery date.
Since 2015, Altera Corporation, a former independent manufacturer of ASICs and programmable integrated circuits, has been part of its parent company Intel. This has enabled the combining of Intel's leading products and manufacturing processes with Altera's leading FPGA technology to create new classes of products designed to meet customer requirements in the data center and Internet of Things (IoT) market sectors. For many years previously, Altera had been Xilinx's main competitor and, as a fabless company, focused primarily on the development of circuits and intellectual property (IP) based on hardware description languages like VHDL or Verilog.
Xilinx is a developer and manufacturer of programmable logic ICs and holds the largest portfolio of low-cost FPGAs, SoCs, MPSoCs, and 3DICs. The company was founded in 1984 by a group that included FPGA inventor Ross Freeman. The market launch of the first chip took place in 1985. Xilinx components are used in numerous applications, including in telecommunications, the automotive industry, measurement technology, consumer electronics, and military technology. As a fabless IC manufacturer, Xilinx does not produce its own semiconductors.
Maxim, a U.S. company, develops, manufactures and markets power supply and battery management ICs, sensors, analog ICs, interface ICs, communications solutions, digital ICs, embedded security and microcontrollers. These components are used in the automotive, industrial, communications, consumer goods and computer industries.
With a current 15 production sites worldwide and approximately 9,000 employees, U.S. electronics firm Bourns has grown steadily over the past several years thanks to its development of new products and technologies as well as through its acquisitions. Bourns develops, produces, and distributes electronic components for a wide range of industries.
Marvell Technology Group is a manufacturer of memory, telecommunications, and semiconductor products for both end users and corporate clients. Its product range for corporate clients includes semiconductor solutions for network switches, routers, and wireless networking products.
ST Microelectronics is a European semiconductor manufacturer based near Geneva, Switzerland. The company produces discrete semiconductor components and integrated circuits (ICs, standard products, custom circuits, and ASICs, as well as ASSPs) for general electronics applications, primarily in the automotive industry and the Internet of Things.
Texas Instruments is one of the world's largest semiconductor manufacturers, focusing primarily on the production of analog devices, including digital signal processors, microcontrollers, multi-core processors for industrial and automotive applications, and digital light processing (DLP) chips for projectors and calculators.
Microchip Technology is a U.S. semiconductor manufacturer based in the state of Arizona. The company's best-known product series includes the PIC microcontroller and AVR microcontroller, for which Microchip also supplies the necessary development environments. The company‘s other products include temperature and power semiconductors as well as interface components and memory products.
This Dutch semiconductor manufacturer was originally founded as part of Philips Semiconductors. The company manufactures semiconductors and system solutions, focusing primarily on security and logistics based on RFID and NFC technology, including contact-based and contactless bank cards, electronic passports, ID cards, electronic admission and travel tickets, and inventory tracking. Another key focus is the automotive market including ABS sensors, radio keys, electronic immobilizers, on-board networks, car stereo, infotainment systems, and telematics.
Cypress, a U.S. semiconductor manufacturer, was acquired by German manufacturer Infineon Technologies AG in 2020. This has made Infineon one of the ten largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world today, producing primarily static RAM, 8-bit/16-bit and 32-bit microcontrollers as well as PSoC (Programmable System on Chip), touch controllers, clock buffers, PMIC (Power Management IC), wireless and USB chips, and a variety of modules. It is also a major supplier of FLASH products.
