More...PC System & I/O ControllerSMSC has a proud history of integrated circuit product innovation with an emphasis on Personal Computer Input/Output (I/O) devices. SMSC's portfolio of PC related products has grown to include USB hubs, thermal management, embedded and keyboard controllers and system management devices. This has resulted in SMSC's leadership role as a supplier of solutions for the PC industry, including major OEMs and motherboard manufacturers worldwide.
More...Thermal Management
As computing power requirements increase, so does heat. With this heat comes the need to safeguard systems from these destructive temperatures. SMSC's thermal management devices provide this first line of defense. These devices are stand-alone analog ICs that monitor system voltages and temperatures and also provide the capability to automatically control cooling fans to protect today's high-heat small form factor designs.
More...Capacitive Touch Sensors
SMSC's capacitive touch sensor products, featuring RightTouch™ technology, set a new standard in simplifying development, improving noise immunity, and lowering BOM costs in PC, LCD monitors, white goods and consumer electronic designs. These devices have been carefully designed to reject common noise sources such as backlight inverters, DC-DC switching regulators and wireless frequencies. They support a wide variety of interfaces such as I2C™, SMBus, SMSC BC-Link™ and SPI and also provide world-class ESD protection of ±8kV HBM with no external ESD protection circuits required.
