CTC Associates, Inc. is pleased to announce strategic representative partnership with Two new Suppliers:

 

                             Monolithic Power Systems, Inc. (www.monolithicpower.com)

 

Monolithic Power Systems (MPS), a high performance analog semiconductor company headquartered in San Jose, California, has three core strengths; deep system-level and applications knowledge, strong analog design expertise, and an innovative proprietary process technology. 

 

“MPS’ proprietary BCD Plus™ process technology is key to its competitive advantage. Many conventional analog technologies are handicapped by an inability to support the integration of power devices at high power levels. This results in unacceptably large semiconductors and/or significant levels of power loss. High power loss results in significant heat dissipation. This must be managed to avoid damaging or reducing the overall performance and efficiency of the system.”

 

MPS product families include:

  • DC/DC converter ICs that provide the supply voltage to a variety of electronic devices.
  • LED driver ICs, used in lighting displays, such as those found in cellular handsets and handheld computing devices.
  • Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp (CCFL) backlight inverter ICs, used in lighting LCD displays, such as those found in notebook computers, flat panel displays and televisions
  • Class D audio amplifier ICs, that are well-suited for small form factor and portable electronic devices
  • Linear ICs including Operational and Current Sense Amplifiers
  • Battery Chargers and Protection Devices
  • Power over Ethernet (PoE) PD Solutions
