Asahi Kasei Microsystems (AKM)

Asahi Kasei Microsystems (AKM) has focused on development in two areas of information and communication systems: custom and application-specific LSIs. Its mixed-signal CMOS ICs have led to the creation of design and process technologies for high-quality, low-power consumption products for communications and multimedia applications.

The company offers a range of products that includes analog-digital mixed-circuit ICs for mobile communications equipment, AD and DA converters based on delta-sigma self-calibration technology, and mass storage ICs incorporating lossless compression and error correction technology.
