Company Information:

Vishay, through its Siliconix subsidiary, is today the world's number-one manufacturer of low-voltage power MOSFETs (metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors), the solid-state switches that are used to manage and convert power in computers, cell phones, and the communications infrastructure, and to control motion in computer disk drives and automotive systems. Vishay Siliconix silicon technology and device -packaging milestones include the industry's first power MOSFETs built on a Trench silicon process (TrenchFET(r)) and the industry's first power MOSFETs offered in small-outline, surface-mount packages (LITTLE FOOT(r)).

This tradition of innovation continues with new silicon technologies designed to maximize power MOSFET performance in such applications as dc-to-dc conversion and load switching, and with new package options that answer the market's demand for better thermal performance (PowerPAK(r)) and smaller footprints (ChipFET(r), MICRO FOOT(r)). In addition to power MOSFETs, Vishay Siliconix products include power integrated circuits and the industry's most distinguished line of analog switches and multiplexers. Power conversion for cell phones, notebook computers, and the fixed telecom infrastructure is the focus of Vishay Siliconix power IC developments, while new analog switching ICs are focused on lower-voltage, space-constrained applications.

Siliconix was founded in 1962 and became an 80.4%-owned subsidiary of Vishay in 1998. On May 16, 2005, Vishay announced that it had effected a merger of a subsidiary of Vishay with and into Siliconix incorporated, as a result of which Siliconix became a wholly owned subsidiary of Vishay.
