IXYS

IXYS Corporation was founded in 1987 and is based in Santa Clara, California. IXYS designs, develops, manufactures, and markets power semiconductors, radio frequency power transistors and systems, and digital and analog integrated circuits. IXYS offers power metal oxide silicon field effect transistors; insulated gate bipolar transistors; and thyristors and rectifiers, including fast recovery epitaxial diodes. These power semiconductors are used to control electricity in power conversion systems, including uninterruptible power supplies, and switch mode power supplies, as well as in communications infrastructure, including wireless base stations, network servers, and telecommunication switching stations; motor drives for industrial applications, such as industrial transportation, robotics, automation, and process control equipment; plasma display panels; medical electronics for applications, such as defibrillators and magnetic resonance imaging equipment; and renewable energy sources, such as wind turbines and solar systems. IXYS also provides integrated circuits, including solid-state relays; and power management and control integrated circuits, such as current regulators, motion controllers, and digital power modulators. IXYS'mixed signal integrated circuits are used in telecommunications products, central office switching equipment, customer premises equipment, set top boxes, remote meter reading equipment, security systems, flat displays, medical electronics, and defense aerospace systems. Its radio frequency power devices are used in wireless infrastructure, industrial radio frequency applications, medical systems, and defense and space electronics.
