This Survey covers digital and analog semiconductors - electronic devices made from silicon - that are sold to a wide range of original equipment manufacturers, including those in the computer, telecommunications, auto, and electronics industries.
The digital segment includes microprocessors (including digital signal processors), memory devices (DRAMs, SRAMs, and flash memory), and logic devices (CPLDs, FPGAs, and ASICs).
The analog segment includes various kinds of amplifiers, regulators, converters, and interface devices. "Semiconductors" is a GICS sub-industry in the "Information Technology" sector of the S&P 1500. Industry Surveys covers more than 50 of the largest and most significant US industries. The information provided for each follows the same general format: the industry's recent performance, an analysis of trends that will influence it in the future, and a broad and fundamental overview of its structure. Both text and data are provided, as are references to additional sources of industry information, including Web sites. |
