USMikroChips was formed in January of 1993 to serve a rapidly growing
need for Hall Effect Sensor ICs in brushless DC motors and personal computer
(PC) cooling fans. USMikroChips designed CMOS Hall IC devices specifically
for these applications and
has captured 70% of the low cost, high volume segment of the market.
USM is also currently the overall worldwide volume leader of Digital
Hall Effect ICs. Our competitive advantages are a special CMOS Hall IC
process, and a "To do whatever it takes" service philosophy. Most of our
competitors design Bipolar devices for the Automotive markets and sell
fallout
to other markets. USMikroChips designs devices to accomodate each market,
using the CMOS process, which eliminates the "fallout" concept.
Our next initiative is to repeat this success in the Automotive and
Industrial markets,with cost-effective devices aimed at specific applications.
In 1997 we inroduced: 1.The US1881SO series - the industry's first
SOT-23, the world's smallest Hall IC package.
2.The US3881UA series - the first Hall IC
to meet the 3 volt standard.
Coming Soon -
The US8881 "Next Generation" BLDC Controller IC
We believe that the customer is our most valuable asset, and will do
virtually anything
within our control to provide exceptional service.
