Logic buffers, drivers, receivers and transceivers allow isolated access to logic signals from one circuit for use in another circuit. Buffers pass their input signal, either unchanged or inverted, to their output and may be used to clean up a weak signal or drive a load. In a boolean logic simulator, a buffer is mainly used to increase propagation delay. Logic receivers and transceivers allow isolated communication between data buses.
Devices in the LED driver PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) family are used to supply a current flow of controlled value to a load, typically a Light Emitting Diode, from a power source having a nominally fixed voltage. Key differentiators from the very similar products designed for voltage regulation include a characteristically lower feedback voltage (to improve system efficiency) and high prevalence of provisions for external control of the device's operating point, used to implement dimming functions in lighting applications.

Memory is a semiconductor device that is used as data storage device on an integrated circuit. These devices are available in several formats CBRAM, DRAM, EEPROM, EERAM, EPROM, Flash, FRAM, NVSRAM, PCM (PRAM), PSRAM, RAM, and SRAM in either Non-Volatile or Volatile. These devices memory sizes range from 64 b to 6 Tb with the interface being I2C, MMC, Parallel, eMMC, Serial, Single Wire, SPI, UFS, Xccela Bus, and 1-Wire.
Products in the modular embedded processor family integrate a microcontroller, microprocessor, digital signal processor, FPGA, or other such computational device together with support components such as memory, power management, timing, and other items necessary for their operation. They are suitable and intended for integration into an end product, and offer product developers access to modern computational and interface capabilities without necessity of high speed hardware design experience.
Real Time Clocks (RTCs) provide time and/or date information in almost any electronic device which needs to keep accurate time. The clock types are binary counter, clock/calendar/supervisor, elapsed time counter, phantom time chip, portable system controller, temperature recorder, time event recorder, and timer clock peripheral. They contain memory sizes ranging from 2 B to 2 MB and have interface options of I2C, Parallel, Serial, SPI, 1-Wire, 2-Wire, 3-Wire, and 4-Wire.
Touch screen controllers are integrated circuits that provide an interface between the touch screen sensor array and the device the screen operates. The controller receives position information from the sensor array which is usually resistive or capacitive. In turn, the position information is passed along to a microcontroller via a serial, parallel, USB, or UART interface.
Products in the DC-DC switching regulator PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) family are component-level devices used in applications requiring stabilization of a DC input voltage and/or transformation thereof to an output voltage of different magnitude. They are distinguished from similar products called "controller" PMICs by virtue of integrating the main switching element through which the power delivered by the device passes.
