An integrated circuit (IC) is a semiconductor chip that contains transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other electronic components on a single silicon substrate. ICs are the foundation of modern electronics and power devices such as smartphones, computers, automotive systems, and industrial equipment.

Integrated circuits work by routing electrical signals through microscopic semiconductor components fabricated onto a silicon chip. Depending on the design, ICs can process, amplify, store, or control electronic data.

Integrated circuits are used in:

• Consumer electronics
• Automotive electronics
• Industrial automation
• Telecommunications equipment
• Medical devices
• Computers and servers
• IoT and embedded systems

The different types of integrated circuits include:

• Analog ICs
• Digital ICs
• Mixed-signal ICs
• Power management ICs
• Microprocessors and microcontrollers
• Memory ICs

As a full line supplier, we specialize in sourcing obsolete and hard to find electronic components for your projects.

After we receive your request submission, one of our account executives will reach out to your team to gather more information about your project requirements and ensure we tailor the order to your needs.

Once requirements such as date codes, quantities, target prices, testing requirements, and more are discussed, our purchasing team will secure stock through Microchip USA’s direct access to manufacturing partners’ excess inventory lists.

Our operations teams will handle logistics and fulfillment to ensure supply chain continuity, and our support team will provide clear communication throughout the process.

Our net terms for electronic component sourcing are flexible and vary by order. Our account executives will work with you to ensure our terms meet your company’s needs. We also offer scheduled shipments and inventory management solutions to ensure a steady supply of electronic components, maintain cash flow, and maximize warranty periods. We always offer a warranty on all tested parts. See our sales terms and conditions for more information.

We partner with industry-leading AS6171 & AS6081-certified third party testing labs to mitigate risk and support a wide array of end uses for your company’s requirements. Testing includes but isn’t limited to: Decapsulation & Internal Dye Verification. X-Ray Inspection & Analysis, External Visual Inspection, Surface Texture Analysis (SEM), and Electrical Pin Correlation.
