Markets and Products
The company serves six primary end markets: automotive, consumer, defense and aerospace (‘D&A’), industrial and enterprise, infrastructure, and mobile. The company’s products solve customers’ most complex challenges while enhancing performance, improving efficiency, increasing functionality, enabling new form factors, and addressing other critical challenges.
High Performance Analog
HPA primarily serves the D&A, infrastructure, industrial and enterprise, and consumer markets.
In the D&A market, the company focuses primarily on high-power phased array radar for electronic military applications and communications systems for both defense and commercial space satellite communications. Within these markets, there are expanding opportunities for HPA's products and technologies driven by global macrotrends, including upgrades to legacy radar systems, the shift to new, higher frequency bands, and the trend of ‘one to many,’ which requires a greater number of smaller, more highly integrated, and scalable networked platforms.
The company supplies the top tier companies in LEO SATCOM constellation ecosystems with products for satellites and airborne flat panel array terminals. The company also engages directly with U.S. government agencies, including the Department of Defense (‘DoD’), to develop next-generation semiconductor and packaging technologies. The company’s standard product portfolio of industry-leading D&A solutions includes high-power RF amplifiers, low noise amplifiers (‘LNAs’), switches, limiters, filters, phase shifters, mixers, multiplexers, attenuators, beamforming integrated circuits (‘ICs’), power management ICs (‘PMICs’), control ICs, and fully integrated RF front end modules (‘FEMs’). The company’s services portfolio includes an extensive set of compound semiconductor foundry services, wafer processing, advanced packaging, and heterogeneous integration solutions.
The company supports cellular base station original equipment manufacturers (‘OEMs’) with a broad portfolio of infrastructure solutions to address their most critical requirements for data capacity, throughput, and efficiency. The company’s cellular infrastructure products include switches, filters, LNA modules, discrete LNAs, variable gain amplifiers, and control circuits. In broadband infrastructure, network operators are migrating from Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification (‘DOCSIS’) 3.1 to DOCSIS 4.0 to increase the efficiency of existing infrastructure and significantly increase download and upload speeds for end users. The company is enabling the transition to DOCSIS 4.0 with a broad portfolio of products, including high-output power doublers, drivers, preamplifiers, return amplifiers, voltage-controlled attenuators, digital step attenuators, switches, and voltage variable equalizers.
HPA serves industrial and enterprise markets with solutions that leverage the company’s configurable power management intellectual property (‘IP’). The company provides unique solutions for power management, motor control, and battery management systems across a broad set of applications, including factory motor drives and controls, large power tools, factory transport systems, robotics, industrial drones, pumps, and fans. The company also provides solutions to meet artificial intelligence (‘AI’)-driven demand for highly efficient data center solid-state drive power.
The company provides PMICs for consumer applications, including wearables, chargers, portable video processing devices, and solid-state drives for client computing applications. The company also provides motor control and drive products, and battery management system solutions to industry-leading providers of appliances, and electric power and garden tools. The company’s products reduce solution size, improve battery life, lower cost, improve system reliability, and shorten customers’ product development time.
Connectivity and Sensor Group
CSG serves the automotive, consumer, industrial and enterprise, and mobile markets. The proliferation of data-driven, connected devices that sense, process, and communicate is driving demand for the company’s wireless connectivity solutions, which increase throughput, reduce latency, enhance security, and maximize efficiency.
V2X assists autonomous driving, and the company’s UWB solutions enable Child Presence Detection systems, which detect and alert if a child or pet is accidentally left behind in a vehicle. The company’s UWB solutions also contribute to vehicle security, as the company leverages ultra-low latency communication and precision location accuracy to enable and significantly improve the security of digital key access and digital key sharing compared to legacy technologies. The company’s connectivity and sensor products for automotive applications include Bulk Acoustic Wave (‘BAW’) filters, LNAs, switches, power amplifiers (‘PAs’), front end solutions, force-sensing touch sensors, and UWB solutions. All of the company’s automotive products meet or exceed AEC-Q100 quality and reliability standards, and its customers include market-leading Tier-1 suppliers.
UWB is also enabling contextual awareness through location-based interactions, or presence detection, by leveraging the radar capabilities of UWB technology.
The company’s connectivity product portfolio includes Wi-Fi RF front end solutions, multi-protocol (BLE, Zigbee, Matter, and Thread) system-on-a-chip (‘SoC’) solutions, UWB SoCs, and UWB system-in-package (‘SiP’) solutions. The company’s multi-protocol SoCs enable multiple radios to connect concurrently. The coexistence of multiple low-power wireless protocols in a SoC reduces form factor, extends battery life, and helps advance the proliferation of IoT devices. The company’s UWB SoC and SiP solutions, in combination with the company’s broad ecosystem of hardware, software, and solutions partners, enable precision location accuracy and security in use cases, including secure home access, secure car access, indoor navigation, and other applications.
In Wi-Fi, new standards and architectures, such as 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E) and 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), are enhancing performance, increasing range and capacity, and enabling new use cases. The Wi-Fi 7 standard doubles the channel bandwidth and number of spatial streams compared to Wi-Fi 6E and uses multi-link operation to combine portions of the 5 GHz and 6 GHz bands into a single link, enabling faster speeds over longer distances. The company has begun development for Wi-Fi 8 front end solutions in alignment with market-leading chipset providers. As standards and architectures evolve, functional requirements increase and demand more highly integrated RF front end solutions. The company’s Wi-Fi portfolio includes PAs, switches, LNAs, and BAW filters, as well as solutions, including FEMs and iFEMs featuring integrated filters.
Advanced Cellular Group
ACG primarily serves the mobile market, which is characterized by highly complex devices and large unit volumes of smartphones, wearables, laptops, tablets, and other devices. The company’s portfolio includes highly integrated and functionally dense RF modules, envelope tracking (‘ET’) RF PMICs, antenna tuners, filters, and switches. The company’s advanced cellular products leverage multiple manufacturing processes and packaging technologies, including highly differentiated Qorvo technologies.
Customers
The company designs, develops, manufactures, and markets its products and solutions for leading U.S. and international OEMs and original design manufacturers (‘ODMs’). The company also collaborates with leading reference design partners and provides foundry services to defense primes and other D&A customers.
