Nu Horizons Electronics and Microsemi Corporation Announce Global Partnership Agreement for Microsemi's Analog and Mixed-Signal Products.MELVILLE, N.Y. & IRVINE, Calif. -- Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. (NASDAQ NASDAQ in full National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations U.S. market for over-the-counter securities. Established in 1971 by the National Association of Securities Dealers (NASD), NASDAQ is an automated quotation system that reports on :NUHC), a leading global distributor of advanced technology semiconductor, display, illumination and system solutions; and Microsemi Corporation (NASDAQ: MSCC MSCC Motlow State Community College (Lynchburg, TN) MSCC Morgan Sports Car Club MSCC Manila Sports Car Club MSCC Mission Springs Community Church (Fremont, CA) MSCC Mazda Sports Car Club ), a leading manufacturer of high-performance analog mixed-signal integrated circuits A mixed-signal integrated circuit combines analog circuits with digital signal processing (DSP) circuits on a single semiconductor die. An integrated circuit that includes both analog and digital circuitry (but no DSP), like a 555 timer, is generally not considered a mixed-signal and high-reliability semiconductors; today entered an agreement by which Nu Horizons becomes a globally authorized distributor of Microsemi's analog and mixed-signal products. These products include controller integrated circuits Integrated circuits Miniature electronic circuits produced within and upon a single semiconductor crystal, usually silicon. Integrated circuits range in complexity from simple logic circuits and amplifiers, about 1/20 in. (1. (ICs), ambient light sensors and LCD backlight back·light n. A type of spotlight, used in photography, that illuminates a subject from behind. tr.v. back·light·ed or back·lit , back·light·ing, back·lights inverters. Microsemi differentiates its integrated circuit integrated circuit (IC), electronic circuit built on a semiconductor substrate, usually one of single-crystal silicon. The circuit, often called a chip, is packaged in a hermetically sealed case or a nonhermetic plastic capsule, with leads extending from it for products with patented topologies that provide superior performance and unique functional capabilities. Their high reliability semiconductors offer patented packaging designs that reduce component size, while increasing their power handling capability. Typical applications for Microsemi's products include implantable pacemakers Pacemakers Definition A pacemaker is a surgically-implanted electronic device that regulates a slow or erratic heartbeat. Purpose Pacemakers are implanted to regulate irregular contractions of the heart (arrhythmia). and cardio-defibrillators; MRI 1. (application) MRI - Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 2. MRI - Measurement Requirements and Interface. systems; wireless LAN A local area network that transmits over the air typically in the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz unlicensed frequency band. It does not require line of sight between sender and receiver. Wireless base stations (access points) are wired to an Ethernet network and transmit a radio frequency over an area client and mini-PCI cards; military aircraft, space and weapons systems; industrial power supplies and solar power inverters; and the LCD displays found in notebook computers, monitors, LCD TVs, and automotive GPS and entertainment systems. Michael G. Sivetts III, vice president of distribution sales at Microsemi states, "Microsemi is delighted to join the Nu Horizons display business unit. In addition to their global fulfillment capabilities and superior customer service, they have amassed an impressive group of products and solutions designed to fully support their Display Solutions customers." Rita Megling, senior vice president of marketing for Nu Horizons Electronics Corp. states, "Microsemi is an established leader in the analog and mixed-signal arenas whose reputation for quality products and service is unsurpassed. We are excited to add their inverters, sensors and controller chip portfolio to further broaden our Display Solutions offering."
