Sanyo Semiconductor – Active Components

Sanyo Semiconductor has developed original analog technology, including analog IP, power-saving technology and other circuit technologies, and has made key contributions to numerous successful systems. Sanyo Semiconductor is a total solution provider for audio, video and power applications and is concentrating their resources in analog IC products and discreet products including analog/digital mixed ICs.

SANYO Semiconductor Co., Ltd., (an ON Semiconductor company) , is a semiconductor manufacturing company with superior power device technologies such as small packaging technology, high efficiency switching technology, high-density packaging technology, etc, and world-class analog technologies. Some of the analog-related assets include wide range processing technology, analog designing technology, experienced analog engineers, and specially designed and manufactured excellent power-saving, environment-conscious devices such as hybrid integrated circuit (HIC) for inverter-use. SANYO Semiconductor’s core devices, including discrete device, general-use analog LSI, ASSP, and HIC, have been used in wide range of products such as PCs, printers, CTVs, cell phones, audio-visual equipments, game equipments, car stereo systems, and air conditioners.

Sanyo Semiconductor acquired by On Semiconductor on January 2011. With the addition of SANYO Semiconductor, ON Semiconductor expands its product portfolio, adding new capabilities ranging from microcontrollers and custom Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) to integrated power modules and motor control devices for the consumer, automotive and industrial end-markets. ON Semiconductor plans to operate SANYO Semiconductor as an independent division, utilizing the SANYO logo for up to three years. However, plans are already underway to begin offering both ON Semiconductor’s and SANYO Semiconductor’s products and technologies to all worldwide customers.

Sanyo Semiconductor was involved in the development and manufacturing of a variety of semiconductor products, including integrated circuits (ICs), discrete components, and other electronic devices.

1. History: Sanyo Semiconductor was established as a separate entity within the Sanyo Electric Group, a major Japanese electronics conglomerate. It was involved in the semiconductor business for many years.

2. Products: Sanyo Semiconductor produced a range of semiconductor products, including microcontrollers, power management ICs, analog ICs, discrete components (such as transistors and diodes), and other integrated circuits used in various electronic applications.
