High performance mixed signal: Business and technology

The increasing sophistication of technical solutions provided by the semiconductor industry, will more and more be enabled by ICs that bridge the analog outside world with transceivers, power management, and sensor and actuation functions to the digital world of signal processing and storage. Many of these application-optimized functions will emerge in the coming years and will find differentiation by mixed-signal designs in specific -More-than-Moore- technologies. We believe this class of circuits provides great new growth opportunities to the semiconductor industry.
